My take on Jaysh:

Totally sexist. HOWEVER, You at least acknowledge the other side of that equation, and accept that you have certain responsibilities relative to your sexist stance. Yes, you don't think women should go mulling about outside their homes, BUT you also recognize that you have the responsibility to do everything for the woman that she would otherwise be able to do herself. As such, it probably wouldn't be total torture to be married to you, no matter how much I may tease about it. You at least would give your wife a gilded cage, and in spite of my horrible independent streak, I can appreciate that.

Kudos to you.
