would help to better understand it, but there is too much resistance and unwillingness to understand patriarchy.
that is a low number. it looking better.

(115,103 posts)Many women have internalized the patriarchy's value system, and will adopt their husband's preferences as he is the one who is supposed to be the 'leader' of the family.
Really has done a lot for society, that.

(33,224 posts)The key is to stop them from changing their voting habits when they marry.
Like it or not, most married couples vote the same. Convince the guys to vote democrat and we retain the women.

"Are you trying to tell me I don't have that RIGHT? He says, "No", and then walks away. End of discussion.
He can vote for his Republicans, but I WILL vote for Obama and the Democrats and no husband is going to stop me.

(743 posts)I never once thought he was cute. He is evil through and through and when that happens cute goes flying out the window. I was just so sick and tired of hearing that from my mother and my sister and then them looking at me like i was crazy for not believing in the same thing. Thankfully with the latest fuck up from Rmoney my parents are finally coming around and saying they will not even vote now so I have been in a constant state of shock for the past day or so. lol
Hopefully more and more people are finally waking up and seeing how evil both of these men really are and the party that they represent.
