At the 1997 World Women's Conference the first speaker from
England stood up:
"At last years' conference we spoke about being more assertive
with our husbands. Well after the conference I went home and told my
husband that I would no longer cook for him and that he would have
to do it himself. After the first day I saw nothing. After the
second day I saw nothing. But after the third day I saw that he had
cooked a wonderful roast lamb dinner." The crowd cheered.
The second speaker from America stood up:
"After last years' conference I went home and told my husband that
I would no longer do his laundry and that he would have to do it
himself. After the first day I saw nothing. After the second day I
saw nothing. But after the third day I saw that he had done not only his
own washing but my washing as well." The crowd cheered.
The third speaker from Australia stood up:
"After last years' conference I went home and told my husband that
I would no longer do his shopping and that he would have to do it
himself. After the first day I saw nothing. After the second day I
saw nothing. But after the third day I could see a little bit out of my
left eye."
