Great perspective! And when society sanctions this behavior on the intimate level of families and relationships it's a wonder we function at all. One of my favorite bumper stickers from the mid 70's was (and still is) "Uppity Women Unite!"
I just read an interesting article in The Smithsonian by Meilan Solly about Mary I ("Bloody Mary") and how she was tagged with that moniker. (No one calls her Father Henry VIII "Bloody Henry" and he sent far more people to death than she did).
"For all her faults...Mary—the first to prove women could rule England with the same authority as men" but it seems that society didn't like uppity women the, either.
