Phyllis Schlafly gets a big kick out of the story of a hoodwinked husband boasting foolishly to his friends: “When my wife and I were married, we agreed that I would make all the major decisions, and she would make the minor ones. I decide what legislation Congress should pass, what treaties the president should sign, and whether the United States should stay in the United Nations. My wife makes the minor decisions-such as how we spend our money, whether I should change my job, where we should live, and where we go on our vacations.”
-from Schlafly’s 1977 book The Power of the Positive Woman
