it seems to me from the boards and my own sorry state of a marriage that men still deep inside that "their" females, i e mother and wife, are not real people that one has to respect. or treat with common curtesy in language.
i see it in my husband. since i cant leave anymore ( kids) he has taken to speak to me in commands only!
language for the maid: shut up! (then quickly catches himself and sais: could you please be quiet?
language for me: shut up!
language for the nanny: can you check hertemperature please?
language for me: check her temperature!
i think language is really important, it kind of sais itall, no?
who elsehas experienced this, and could you change it( such a big thing to change!) , or did u just have to go?
