In our society, there are many "jokes" or statements rudely made about women. "Get back in the kitchen that's where you belong", "women are bad drivers", and "men are smarter" are just a few of the ones i've heard in public, on T.V., etc.
It's almost as if men can't get past the idea that both genders are equal. In The Crucible, women were found strange to read anything other than the bible; like Giles's wife. The men could whip the women and say cruel things and they would just take it. They basically imply during the whole movie and piece that women are inferior and are property of men.
Women these days still ask permission by their spouse about whether or not to do some things. Maybe over the course of time women still have the "they're the boss of me" type of thinking still in their brain. Or maybe they were brought up that way, not to have independence or think for themselves.
To me, I think it's sad that women are still, in a joking way, being treated like this and that their mind set it as if they're living in the 1600s. Thought we would've gone a long way from that.
