"Allowed you to think you're liberated." Guest T-boy, that may be tongue in cheek, but that comes uncomfortably close to the truth. Men have sometimes (ha! Always?) thought of themselves as being of primary importance. "Americans love their country- and by and large, their wives feel the same."

Among the things I've been grateful for when it comes to men is that they have an outie and women have an innie... :)
