Karma or Role Reversal?

Comparing the marriages of the past and today, it draws some drastic but telling truths of how the modern times have changed.

Wives, who have had their lives sold away to faraway husbands whom they only got to know at their wedding day, who, like unclean water tossed out of their very own household, got accustomed to the whims and fancies of their new companion. Brushing the tiles, cooking the meals, making sure the house stayed in pristine conditions for her husband when he returns home from work, before allowing him, even grudgingly, to fulfill his needs as all men do.

Some centuries later, we have men obligingly mopping floors, donning an apron and prancing around in kitchens, bringing in the dough, and still, gave in to their wives' demands.

They say what goes round comes round.

I can only laugh meekly as I enjoy the privileges of what being a girl means in today's society. But beneath that little amusement of mine, I have an appreciation for how men have adapted to times - the dawn of the S.N.A.G: Sensitive New Age Guys.
