TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Well Chris, since you are not my significant other, I'm going to feel free to go ahead and criticize you for rolling out about the most clichéd instance of casual sexism.
I -- and all of the women I know -- would not consider any relationship where one party routinely cowed the other into submissive agreement to be in any way healthy or desirable.
Perpetuating the old cliché about wives being controlling nags is not cute and funny. Its offensive.

For husbands, learning four magic words is imperative: "You are right, dear."
