The first is from my husband, who has a working wife: “Oh, baloney.”
The second is from me, the working wife: Each of those poor souls surveyed needs to be issued his own personal copy of a slogan that was printed on pins and bumper stickers not too long ago--”A man of quality is not threatened by a woman of equality.”
