I see. So the idea is that the family - an exclusive, private institution - is supposed to be democratic. Why? No one knows. It just seems more "moral" that way.
And as to how men and women are "equal," no one can provide an example of that, either. Again, it just seems more "moral" to say that it's simply true.
It's little wonder, then, that the institution of marriage is generally worthless today. After all, the egalitarianism of men and women, not to mention the family, evidently has no basis in reality.
I worked in the corporate world in a big city for thirty some years without ever feeling that my male counterparts and bosses checked my advancement on the basis of my female sex. I then moved to the country and worked in a field (agriculture and natural resources) for more than a decade where men dominated. I always felt that they respected me and accepted my contributions.
It was not until I ran for public office and had conservative men tell me that I could not do the job solely on the basis of my sex that I experienced prejudice. Let me tell you, it is a stunner. There is absolutely nothing that a candidate can do to counter that. Nevertheless, I won with a substantial margin.
Conservatives need to support female conservative candidates and that means that some have to get over their antiquated view that the little woman belongs at home taking their direction.
