"Secara tradisional, perkawinan melibatkan semacam barter, bukan saling ketergantungan atau berbagi peran. Para suami mendukung secara ekonomi dan ekonomi para istri, sedangkan para istri secara emosional mendukung para suami. Dia membawa pulang bacon, dia memasaknya. Dia memperbaiki pipa ledeng, dia jiwa."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Traditionally, marriage involved a kind of bartering, rather than mutual inter-dependence or role sharing. Husbands financially and economically supported wives, while wives emotionally, psychologically and socially supported husbands. He brought home the bacon, she cooked it. He fixed the plumbing, she the psyche.
