When I was born in 1965, it was certainly "a man's world". Well, in my little world it was.
My mother cooked, cleaned, and made sure we didn't disturb Daddy.
Dad was the breadwinner, which entitled him to be abusive and have the final say in matters.
Very few women took the chance to leave that bullshit and go out on their own into the "man's world". It took a STRONG woman to do that.
Have I come to accept men and women as perfect equals?
Probably not to the extent that a woman would want me to.
In many ways I find myself being a "reverse sexist" just as I find myself being a reverse racist.
The bottom line is: you canNOT generalize people, whether it's men, women, blacks, or whites. Every genre and every race has their assholes, their psychos, and their pigs.
