(106,680 posts)Don't blame this on society. Blame it on people who think they're still living 100 years ago, and on the fools who go along with them. Of course it's sexism. It's from an attitude that thinks a man's only interest in a woman is sex. You think that it's "his choosing", but it affects women too. See the imbalance? He gets to control them.
We almost got a female president, you know. That would have shocked some, wouldn't it?
I think he does think it's about his urges too. Especially with the remark about not drinking unless his wife's there. It's a "holier-than-thou" attitude, designed to appeal to people 100 years out of date who see women as additions to men, and who, once married to them, are expected to spend all their time looking after their husband.
