His place is beside me. Not before or after me. I have been watching what everyone was saying hoping someone would come up with a decent answer.. So far women dont think much of men, and men are goofing off about the answer.. I cant believe Im going to be serious either but so far this is the best answer. If a woman asks about where a mans place is... the answer better have something to do with her, cuz she wants to know about her. |

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. 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! 
I love Tom Jones and I love that song. A queen knows her place too,, it doesnt have to be derogatory if you listen to the whole song and everything he says about what a lady is. |

If a man "knows his place" what does that mean to you? It means he is P-Whipped |

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. that's what i mean by the above post...we all have a certain place and a role in a relationship...doesnt mean either one is P or D whipped...to me it's just knowing where i stand with him |

Oh, I like the song, too. And I'm not saying it's inherently derogatory...simply accepting the OP position that in context now...she finds it anachronistic...passe...and apparently derogatory. That's fine...I can see where she's coming from. |

No...I think it was Dragoness who said she found it offensive (derogatory)...again, not making a judgment on anyone...simply accepting a point of view.

If she says "STFU," and you STFU. That's knowing your place. This only works so many times. Then the bed seems to increase in size but decrease in temperature.

I find it a rude power play phrase which ever way it is applied. I don't care who uses it I would be out the door.
