Still alive, Part II

[NotATLDave]

My good friend's wife is a hardcore feminist who has beaten him into submission. When he admits in front of her that she has the penis, she smiles with pride. She forces him to do half of everything. Trading nights cooking, feeding the baby, etc. (I'm not claiming this is a bad thing...just trying to describe the fact that she enforces it).

I, on the other hand am in a R where we both recognize that we have complimentary strengths and will do better by allowing each other to focus on them. It plays out as a very traditional family with me working all the time and my W being a homemaker and letting me make certain decisions etc. Again, I'm not claiming superiority....these are just the systems we fall into.

But here's the kicker...the more stereotypical-male-obnoxious I act, the more she seems to feedback an odd attraction vibe to me. It's like one side of her wants the traditional man (with a capital M..A..N). But her logic is diametrically opposed.

I bet the male black widow spider gets the same vibe too from his girlfriend.
