Hmm, that's true. It seems to me that in this context, women should have the right to be honoured before all others, physically and in every other way, by their husbands and children à la Proverbs; they should have a right to get back some of that tranquility they're supposed to provide their husbands, in the form of not having to listen to the men's work rants if they don't want to; they should be seen as partners with their husbands in childcare matters, particularly discipline (i.e. no "wait till your father gets home" discipline - what she says goes, just as it does for him) and the right to demand counselling and/or a renegotiation of the marriage, up to and including divorce, for adultery, abuse, or addiction on the part of themselves or their husbands.
