Your post, Neko, sounds to me like someone's nose was put a bit out of joint by any reference to males sharing the entitlement role.  That is your playground to mess with, not mine.  I have been happily, though lots of issues and trials with ONE man, a wonderful MAN who just so happens to agree with me.  He has no problem in sharing the "leadership" arrangements in our household. As a matter of fact, he has done so all the 50 years we have been married.  And you know what?  He has not lost any respectability because!!  Imagine that!!  As far as riding hobby horses...(a.k.a. abortion road)too bad men won't try that one on for size...cause I don't know of one who has assisted, encouraged, or demanded a woman get an abortion who has been indicted as the woman has.  It seems women of abortion were "women of virgin pregnancy"...and that is about as silly as your statement.
