On game shows, people are often asked to share a little bit of themselves -- where they work, what their hobbies are, what their family is like.
"Are you married?"
Women's response:
"Yes, I have a wonderful, smart, hard-working husband who is an amazing father to our children."
Men's response:
"Yes, I have a beautiful wife."
Why doesn't anyone ever have a wonderful, smart, hard-working wife who is an amazing mother? Why is it that a woman's primary source of praise is still, after several hundred years, her beauty? We never hear about how supportive or perhaps creative she is. "I love my beautiful wife." |
