Does the fact that we have taken them as wives give us power over them or have we taken an oath to share our lives?
Why is it we expect the woman to wash our clothes, make our food, take care of our children and warm our beds inspite of all we do. What do we do? We like to believe we give them food and shelter. Some may even say that we are better husbands than the drunkards who hit their wives, but the fact is we do insult them time and again when we do get the chance.
This is the normal middle class I am talking about. Educated or not we simply believe the wife is our property. That is because we have been taught so, by no other than our mothers who would not like the same treatment to be given to her daughter.
