Some men (and women) still operate under the notion that men are wise and savvy and know all ins and outs while women are clueless and gullible and need men to guide them through life and make decisions for them. Yeah in 1800s that was the case.. So very outdated.

In addition some people think it’s ok to speak rudely to their spouse, they’d not speak like this to their boss because they’d likely be fired. But she’ll take it so it’s ok to be rude to her. So not right.

Now even though i personally think it’s important to communicate re major purchase regardless of gender, I don’t think anyone needs to tolerate bad treatment. Same message could be delivered in a much more respectful way.
