  2. It is amazing how women for many centuries had to be the idealic Angel in the House. Whey can't men be angels as well. I hate how we are stuck to the protocols and standards of society and we are constantly being labeled as flawed. So how can we be the "Angel in the House", but it has been studied, documented, and stapled onto the female sex by many know it alls that women are naturally flawed and inferior due to Eve, our sex, or our emotional issues. It seems that men can't label us properly. They don't know if they want us to be angels or the fragile, emotionally shattered, evil at heart women.
