wife or husband?

I think you hit it. Pehaps the perceived threat of gay marriage is that it is a threat to their conception of the male role - they are the god-given king of the castle, and others in the house submit: how could any man chose to submit (submissive is more appropriate term than recessive, I was just using that for a subtle genetic analogy)? Certainly they are just as upset about feminism (aka rush's feminazis) as a threat to their "traditional" role, when in fact it is just another person.People can only be upset about things that affect them, and thus it is curious to me the way some people get so bent out of shape by the behind-closed-doors behavior of others that they only know about by reputation (whether it is gay life-style or blue dresses and cigars).As far as archie goes, my first marriage (lasted 5 years, parted friends) the father-in-law was archie, mil was edith, and I was the long-haired son-in-law .... I never really saw much humor in it then (for some reason?). but yes, as a portrayal of "traditional roles" it shows the dominant\submissive pattern.

Speaking of the subject of dominant and submissive, I just asked my friends and they all told me that I seem like the submissive type. I think I need to toughen up a bit, don't you think?

You have a one line answer to my last sentence alone, and it doesn't even debate the point of that sentence. Pure ad hominem is hardly mature, is it?

Fine. I point blank reject your assertion that I was "looking for a fight" and I am bloody sick and tired of you excusing your insulting behaviour by spurious allegations about another persons intent or psychological state.

It wasn't just an assertion. I have already stated I had an argument and the final statement was a conclusion drawn from the argument.It was very simple to understand what was being meant and to keep acting like something else was meant appears to be just looking for a fight. They aren't spurious, but otherwise, fine. What's your excuse?

yeah, you just sit back too much and let others walk all over you. heh.

LOL, I was going to respond with the same point. Lammy is about as submissive as a pitbull with a taste for mailman.
