M: I still don’t understand what you’re talking about. What is feminism anyway? Does it mean you don’t want to marry me anymore?
W: I’m not sure I can give you a perfect dictionary definition, but I’ll tell you how I feel.[19]I want for us to share all responsibilities equally. Both of us will contribute to the life that we share.
M: But I earn enough money for both of us. And what about the home?
W: I want to contribute financially so that we can both pay our own way. Both of us will clean the house; both of us will raise the children, and so on. It may not be exactly equal, but we can try.
M: I was raised to treat women with a certain respect: to stand when they enter a room, to open car doors and front doors for them, to let them sit first and eat first.
W:[20]I think those things are old-fashioned. I’m perfectly able to open doors for myself, and do all sorts of other things. And besides, it makes me feel uncomfortable when you treat me as though I were a china doll. I’m not more special than you; I’m your equal.
M: It sounds as though you think men and women can be friends just like two women or two men can.
W: I certainly do. And I think we’ll all be better for it.
M: OK. I have known that. I can’t do what you said immediately,[21]but I will try my best to adapt to your request. OK?
W: Well, I am looking forward to your progress.
