I don't understand how this idea is supposed to be
patriarchical unless it is not reciprocal, i.e.,
unless the idea is that a woman may not also go
elsewhere if she isn't getting (ebough) sex from her
husband,m or theright sort. Are you saying that if you
don't get enough sex from your spouse, you should
either forego it or get a divorce, regardless of the
other costs, for example to the kids, and indeed the
benefits of the relationship, which need not all be
sexual? That sounds very rigid and Puritanical to me,
bot at all like you, Kells. jks
