In our good ol’ boy world of Texiz, a double standard for the sexes has long existed.
Equal rights standards notwithstanding, a dominant macho mentality for years steered public thought and even legal ruling in favor of males.
It’s the cowboy image, don’t you know. “Come heah, woh-mun!” Try it with the emphasis on the “heah” then a little heavier on the “wohmun,” and you’ll get an idea. Once you could hear that on a daily basis in the rural, country-loving world in which I grew up.
I suppose, if we’re trying to place gender blame somewhere, perhaps we can begin with Hank Williams.
