Ten years ago, I wrote in a column, column, "Sexism is everywhere, in every every facet of our lives." Since then, the more things change, the more sexist attitudes stay the same. The old male-female beliefs, beliefs, with their accompanying roles, still prevail. The title of a recent, useful book tells part of the story. Bom to Please: Controlling Men, Compliant Women by Karen Blaker, underlines how deeply conditioned, how well trained we've all been in childhood, to fill the roles suggested by the book's depressing depressing title. Marital troubles of all kinds are directly attributable to sexist upbringing. Marital troubles of all kinds are directly attributable to sexist upbringing. upbringing. From the myth of the "strong" male who condescends to women and the "weak" female who. represses her anger because anger is unladylike, to the violent husband who justifies his angry assaults on his wife by insisting insisting that she provoked them and is therefore to blame. Many married couples have become become rigidly polarized, suffering from a sort of hardening of their emotional emotional arteries. Conflicts between women's growth toward personal freedom and men's fear of the loss of power in their lives seem to be erupting erupting everywhere, and sometimes esçar lating unchecked. Though their battlegrounds are innumerable, innumerable, couples' opposing views about who men and women are supposed supposed to be. and what they're supposed supposed to do play a big part in virtually virtually all marital warfare. Women's struggles for equal partnerships in their marriages - a king of irresistible force in our society - meet men's iron resistance - a kind of immoveable body. Women must be free, independent, independent, equal but men don't want them to be. Instead, men prefer to treat women women as children, patting them on the head, complaining that they get "too emotional". Men like to invoke male logic and rationality, finding women confusing and hard to understand, as if men were somehow more logical and rational than women to begin with. A recent news item explains a new innoculation for women, presently presently under-going testing, that will render them "immune" to male sperm. A new form of birth control developed on an old principle: make the woman responsible and relieve the man of any responsibility. Another news item informs us that a man in London, England was recently recently sentenced to 18 months probation probation for murdering his .wife. In court, it was revealed that she "nagged" her husband. The male judge make it quite clear that that was sufficient provocation. "Mr. Singh told police he had strangled his 44-year-old wife after two hours of non-stop verbal abuse. Singh's lawyer told the court that his client had put up with his wife's nagging nagging for 18 years to protect his children." children." The article concludes: "Singh's successful plea of provocation prompted comparisons with the sentence sentence handed down in July to Sarah Thornton, a woman who stabbed her husband while he slept, after years of drunken beatings." The comparison suggests that Singh and Thornton were equally trapped and powerless and that the only way out for both was murder of their spouses. For Thornton, no doubt that was the case. For Singh? Only men, conditioned as we've been for a: thousand generations to hold ourselves superior to women and supreme among all species of the world, could concoct such marvelous "logic." We men may be victims of our sexist upbringing, so much so that some of us have come to believe that, "She made me so angry, I have to kill her." Let's work hard to make certain that our male children are trained in better ways. The cycle can be broken.
