my father made it clear he did not believe women needed to be educated. I no longer hear people saying that out loud, but that belief still has a place in the back of many minds, both male and female on this planet.
OMG, my mother (rest her soul) was like that. She refused to have any man in the kitchen helping out. That was not his place. His place was relaxing while the women did the cooking and clean up. To her, that was their job. Today a man would end up alone in the minds of some women, and I can't say I'd blame them.

What ever you write, it will be excellent. I have read your old and new stories and everyone is a real winner.
I fully agree on this one.
