Try this: Next time you are out at a coffee joint, a bakery, an ice-cream place or any similar type food-to-go place, watch the male/female couples and see who places the order. Numerous times I've noticed the woman orders (and often pays the bill) while the man just stands by looking rather clueless. I doubt that when Bogart and Bacall went out for "a cuppa Joe" that Bacall ordered (whistled, maybe). The same goes for Astair/Rogers, Marshall Dillon and Kitty, Prince Ranier and Grace Kelly, Fred Flinstone and Wilma.....you get the idea.I'm not certain what the failure of men ordering for their women says about our culture and society. But I can't help but think that it's somehow a reflection of the natural order gone topsy/turvy.
