I have a couple of friends who are about 63 who still act like that. I don't know many younger people, but my son, who is 31, has a bossy wife. In fact she is very bossy and he automatically does whatever she says. She is from Colombia, where a lot of the educated women have been leaving the country because they think all of the men there are sexist jerks. My daughter, who is 34, has a healthier relationship with her husband, who is from Nepal. How women and men behave in a relationship is affected by how their parents behaved when they were growing up. Some bad patterns may last for several generations even when social norms have changed. But for the most part I don't think most younger couples behave like that now.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16298717917068277282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8906697713462162467.post-68721000417709258782014-10-11T22:21:44.149-04:002014-10-11T22:21:44.149-04:00I was at a wedding in Vancouver last weekend.

The master of ceremonies was younger I'll say early 40's so it surprised and then dismayed me that his 'go to' patter was that women are always right or men you better let the women think they are always right. I am single, independent and head up a division of 330 staff. In my world I thought this patronizing drivel was sort of over but not so. And to make 1 comment on your article where you surmise women do not seem to have a good relationship with men I am guessing that it is the women in question. I think I have fairly good relationships with men and try to treat them as I am would like to be treated and give the benefit of the doubt of value and interest until proven otherwise. I think other women do this as well. itereshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14397413261229983880noreply@blogger.com
