No doubt you’ve seen the TV commercial. A young man, casually dressed, is shown puttering around the house doing household chores, making coffee, playing with a toddler, oh bla di, oh bla da. Suddenly, the front door opens and an attractive young woman comes in. She is very well dressed and made up, business attire (she ain’t a secretary), and she’s carrying a briefcase.
The couple greets each other briefly, and then she invites him to come with her–for sex. Its not blatant or in bad taste, but if you look carefully at the body language and the gestures there is no doubt what is going on. She is ready, NOW. Our little house husband is about to get laid. He is clearly eager to follow up on her offer and he follows her out of the room, stage left–like an obedient little puppy.
To a certain extent this little domestic scene illustrates some profound social, and cultural changes now taking place in America, not to mention some profound changes in the economy and the family and traditional gender roles. But I bet a lot of people watching this see reflections of their own home and modern life. And I bet they resent it. Like the frequent portrayal of interracial couples in media, this little domestic drama points to changes many people just wish would go away.
This is what MAGA is really all about.
