Tonight I was watching a television program which brought up the issue of equal pay for equal work.  Men were being paid more for the same work that women were doing.

A commercial break showed a husband and wife in an empty movie theater.  The screen lights up with the film of their wedding.  Then the man gives his wife a three-stone diamond anniversary ring.

I was struck by the incongruity of these two pictures.  Women insist on equality of pay, which I agree with; but on the other hand, they expect special consideration from their husbands.

What do I mean by that?  Well, if a women forgets her wedding anniversary, who ever hears of a husband throwing a tantrum about it?  But let a man forget their anniversary, and all ... a storm breaks out.
