Ah yes, the ever popular "pussywhipped" rhetoric.
--"My wife and I have equal say in how the money is spent in our family".
"Are you whipped, boy?"
--"I can't stay and have another drink; I told my wife I'd be home to watch the kids."
"Are you whipped, boy?"
This has to be one of the most insidious forms of sexism: when a man supports or even tolerates the idea of gender equality and the validity of women's experience, other men call his "manliness" into question. Two consequences: male gender roles of control and autonomy are reinforced, and the social subjugation of women is perpetuated.
--And of course, Thomas can disregard this rant because I'm just trolling for dates from the "hip chicks" on the list.
Please.
