It was just simply about how she likes to treat the person she loves. Other people assumed that by her using June Cleaver as how she defines herself to mean that she meant the 50s were the best times and that somehow she was in favor of suppressing women's rights, the rights of other minorities, giving men all the power and control... blah blah blah. This was not the intent or meaning and it all got blown out of proportion because some people jumped to conclusions and made some very big assumptions. It had nothing to do with kink or revoking equality or rights.

The thing is, and it is not my intention to rank on that member, so do I. I love taking care of Pete. I understand the desire for a shorthand to describe that, I do. But the references to periods of time that were especially bad for women, or Blacks, or any other group that has been systematically discriminated against? It's shit stirring, whether intentional or not.
