Well said Marina. Although I am not the greatest sample of male humility and learned lots of macho imprints I know it was wrong and the family attitude was sexist, userous of women and it really makes me sick too.
I have been married to my second wife for over 20 years who taught me about equality early on. Years ago she took one look at a bunch of us family type males and said it was pitiful that because we " had dicks you think you are hot shit"By the time she was finished we just pulled back our butts that had been kicked up around our earlobes and tippy toed quietly to a dark corner to lick our well deserved wounded egos. I will have to think of a way to bring the sexist topic out. In the family men did not kill their wives that were "troublesome" like in extreme cultures, they just made them prostitute themselves or forced them into endless pregnancy. Like some deranged backwoods survivalist cult.
Now being a male I exceedingly fear Lorna Bobbit. Secretly I think evry macho male recognizes a little of the wrath of the Almighty in her story.
I will however find a way to bring your suggestion forward. God help me but I do like the fray. Thanks for your support and encouragement!
