Equal Rights

I think that it would be near impossible to reword Bernays's statement without it losing its original meaning. While I'm sure that there are still households where it is the wife's primary job to take care of the husband, house, and kids, these households are declining. I agree with some of the previous posts in that the statement should be reworded to be something like, "Men and women work together, both in private and in public, to support each other, their households, and their families." I believe that Bernays's statement would not be well received today as there has been such dramatic movements to establish equal rights among males and females in the decades following Bernays's statement. The thinking among most Americans, in terms of gender roles, has changed dramatically as well.
