Aren't the rules in France different than in the USA regarding this k3n??? That book sounds like it was published here.... :wink: :wink: :wink:

I don't know about the rest of the country, but in our house, they're certainly different! :lol:

Actually, some of the French men are incredibly male chauvinist, even the young ones! I was once with Hans and a French male colleague of his who had a classic car for sale, Hans expressed interest and I said 'you're NOT having it!'. The French guy nearly fell off his chair and said 'in France, women don't speak to their husbands like that!' Raising his hand to indicate the slap I would get if I were HIS wife! I looked him in the eye and said 'lucky I'm not French then, isn't it!'
His wife is beautiful but like a frightened mouse! b#&@d! :shock:

Oh gosh--it's actually real? My, oh, my. I'd better show it to my 19 year old daughter--maybe she can do better. :lol: :lol: :lol:

If my17 year old daughter even attempts to follow that, I would be the one to slap her!!! I've spent 17 years preaching to that child to be independent and not to take *&^%## off men. I'm crossing my fingers that it will work.

I actually have a book like that tucked away in a box. It's a riot to read. Friends of my Mom and Dad gave it to me as a wedding present. Said I should read it for pointers, then they laughed. lol
I did peruse thru it and laughed hysterically. Called the friends and they just laughed and laughed. They asked me if I was going to follow any of it. I said sure...he might get dinner and I might be dressed appropriately...meaning, not in sweatpants and a tshirt. lol

I read this over 24 hours ago and still cannot find the words to express my feelings about this.

It's funny and pathetic and apalling, all rolled into one.

Thanks for posting K, it's amazing how far we've come...and sad to think we've had to travel this way at all!

LOL Terri- so I take it the replacement outfit doesn't involve satin and lace! :mrgreen:

Esq - yeah, my feminist hackles were well and truly up as well! The stuff our foremothers had to put up with! And as you say, we're still travelling - all we can do is hope that with each generation it gets better. :D

Whips and chains.....lmao

You WILL eat that dinner! Lash! :lol:

Hey, girls: NOW THAT'S THE SPIRIT! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
