whom do think is superior

Hi dil_ireland! I definately think that it differs a lot between countries, and even different cultures within the countries. I am in a mixed race / culture marriage, and I can see this a lot! It has caused quite a lot of arguments....! Although my hubby is very 'modern' and liberal, I think that he has, without even realising it, been affected by the society in which he grew up to believe that things like housework and looking after the kids just magically 'happen' around the men, and furthermore that the women expend very little effort doing all this stuff...! My hubby is from a muslim origin, but even in so-called 'modern western' societies I can still see this attitude to a certain extent. For example where I live at the moment it seems to a large extent to be accepted for men to go to the pub while women do the housework. I think that even these days there are very few societies where men are not seen, even subconsciously, as the 'head' of the household. Although I think in many western societies women are starting appreciate themselves more and to regard themselves as the head of the household, while their husbands still think they are the head! Quite funny really... I personally don't think there should be a 'household head' - there should rather be a partnership.
