Holy cow. I paused commenting then read others; the crap you’re getting was unexpected.
You nailed it, generally. Exceptions, obviously (e.g., ‘man-bun generation’, lib millennials/z-ers and STRONG Conservative women).
If tragedy struck tomorrow, I’m much more likely to get another Dobie than to find the latter even after a determined search (which one is preferred is questionable at this point in my life), and I’d be much happier avoiding my basal instincts.
Yeah, I was a little surprised. Perhaps I didn’t phrase it well.
I’ve been happily married for over 30 years so nothing like that is an issue for me. My comment is basically that if women are in charge and rule over men, things don’t go so well. I look at the world today and I think it’s basically a situation where third wave feminism has triumphed. It’s not pretty. We are better off when men take charge and are trusted to lead others.
And I think this goes back to Genesis and the idea that “You will desire to control your husband, but he will rule over you.” But we have constructed a world in which (largely) women got their wish and now control men. No one is really happy with the result, but it’s horribly sexist to say so.
