women and their wives. my father a republican. my mother a democrat. and equals, even back in the day.

my hubby a republican. i am a democrat.

does anyone think that i am repressed? my hubby will have his small town country repugs college friends to dinner. say (happened about 2004), my wife opposes the war. cross his arms and sits back with a grin.

i know lots of christians and lots of republicans that are good to each other and dont play in the hierarchy.

i also know democrat men that use patriarchy for their advantages and control over wife making married life difficult and something i would no way be a part of. look at our clinton, weiner, edwards. spitzer. i wouldnt be a part of that, either.

patriarchy is not party specific.
