So since feminism can be a popular subject around here I was curious about this. Whats the view of the "Yes dear" thing?
I've seen couples of all kinds (christian, non-christian...etc) disagree on feminism stuff, but yet all (men) openly will say typical lines like "Yes dear!" or "Happy wife, happy life!". And I realize maybe some of them are being a bit silly, BUT there is always some truth to when someone says those things. So what do you think of these sayings?
Do you think the wife really should be/is the head of the "roost" so to speak? Or do you think most mean it to be funny? And where do you think this falls when it comes to the topic of feminism? I've never been into a marriage where either spouse has more say then the other (despite my rants on here sometimes). I like the equality thing. But I get bugged by men who treat their women like slaves and let them have no voice. And bugged by women who think its funny their husband tends to let them do whatever they want because they can be bossy/play with his emotions(aka happy wife, happy life).
If you notice though you never see any of those slogans from women about men. Like happy hubby, lots of grubby!". Thoughts?
