In reply to the discussion: Hillary: Marriage is a sacred bond between a man and woman for raising children [View all]JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)article offensive. It had to do with a young man's difficulties in dealing with the changing sexual expectations of women. It is quite appropriate. I don't think he should be ashamed of the article. It reflects the confusion that real people went through at that time.
We women were raised to be submissive and to play subordinate roles, to raise children and to serve our spouses. That's the way I was raised. It took a lot of soul-searching and a lot of experience and learning for me to become a strong, fairly assertive woman, an independent person who could become what I had the ability to become.
I'm not going into the details of my story, but the article rang true for me. I don't know whether you are a man or a woman. I'm a woman, and I rather liked the article.
