13. In the case of the Irish, it was the British oppression.

The males were not safe, so the mothers had to do everything.

They took over the household, did the jobs, and kept the boys
close and coddled.

And that's exactly how boys have been raised in my family
since the Dores came here from Limerick in 1849.

And it doesn't matter what ethnicity or religion the husband
is. If the wife was raised Irish Catholic, all the kids are
raised that way too.

My dad was southern Methodist from rural Texas. And I
totally identify as Irish Catholic, and so do all my brothers
and sisters, whether we actually practice or believe in the
religion is irrelevant. My sisters and I are strong and
independent; my brothers are weak and dependent on women.
