Again, again and again I’m not siding with these old-school gender concepts. I’m just talking about traditional marriage roles and how common (or not) they still are in this day and age, just like racism or homophobia. I’m not siding with them but we can’t pretend that they didn’t exist back in the day just because we’re in a more enlightened era (however wrong they were).

For the record I don’t agree with anyone being the head of the house but you know what I’m saying when I talk about it. We might know more now but it’s just one of those traditional concepts.

Ok I don't know any couples in real life that let their husbands make decisions for the family, it's an outed concept that I like to think we're well passed
