Thanks for your post! And I appreciate ...Kristen,<br /><br />Thanks for your post! And I appreciate the discussion following it very much. I'm quite sure that the patriarchy isn't owned by Christians (even by the patriarchal ones), but to use the Bible or culture figures such as Bennett does sure makes for some interesting cultural divides in America.J.

Thank you for telling the story of your o...Shawna,<br /><br />Thank you for telling the story of your own family. It sounds all too familiar, even though Bennett seems so suddenly surprised by the inequalities and the sexism. How many generations back have experienced exactly what the kind of father and mother that you have grown up with? Three? More!<br /><br />Thanks also for sharing so personally how you have changed things for yourself! To be honest, much of my own life, similarly has been one of change; I remember as a young child making promises that my marriage and my family would be, would have to be, different.J. K.

My father has never grown up, and it is in large part due, to my domesticated mother who believed the 1950s brainwashing that her job was to suck it up and keep the family together regardless of what my father did. I can think of a quite a few men on both sides of my family in 3 different generations that have never grown up.<br /><br />The only difference now is that most women don't put up with it and leave and find men who are adults. Or like me: wait to marry later, insisting that we are going to marry an adult man to begin with.Shawna Atteberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12752697766813703698noreply@blogger.com
