Sorry for the hijack! I do think it has some relevance on the thread though...I think the double standard also tells women it is their role to be a "caretaker" for their men and put the "man" first (people may say that's not the case but the underlying societal stigma IMHO is still around), which can be a problem when codependency arises.
We should give this its own thread, because this is a MAJOR component to the struggle I'm having with the family about this. Is anyone game?
