I have heard that used more for women than men and it usually was kind of derogatory.
I'm not sure what it would mean really. |
|
|
|
So it is a derogatory term then?
The reason I asked is I heard that old song, "She's a lady" today and it said, "She knows her place" Which I found offensive and I just wondered how men felt about it being applied to them. |

I think of it as derogatory.

If a man "knows his place" what does that mean to you? I don't think of men or women in those terms. I assume we are all adults and can act as such. |

I've never heard of a man "knowing his place." Every man I ever knew thought his place was wherever he happened to be at the time.

The reason I asked is I heard that old song, "She's a lady" today and it said, "She knows her place" Which I found offensive and I just wondered how men felt about it being applied to them. Paul Anka wrote the lyrics to "She's a Lady" in 1971 for Tom Jones, who had a big hit with it. Just goes to show context, I guess. Some 38 years ago, words and concepts that seem somewhat ridiculous were acceptable...times change...and for the most part for the better! A woman's place today...is pretty much wherever she chooses to make it...and that shouldn't bother any man. If it does, he's probably living in the past...and won;t be in your future! |

And then, of course, there's Goof's perspective...

IT means he takes the lead and provides support for his family,,emotionally and financially.

in all seriousness it depends what type of person you ask. if you ask a controlling freak woman then i would think it means in a derogatory way, kinda like under her boot.
if you ask a reasonable woman then it means exactly the same as a woman knowing her place...in that particular relationship. in my opinion there is alway a division between the rolls and responsibilities...and we all take on a "place" within that relationship. |
