I saw a bumper sticker that I thought was normal for the Protection of Marriage crowd. Quite simple said MARRIAGE= then had a clip art of a man and a woman.
Nothing strange about that. There was also some smaller print that I was not able to read.
Yet there was something about it that wasn't right. After following the car a mile or so it hit me.
The woman figure was noticeably smaller than the man.
Was what I took for a bumper sticker against Gay Marriage really a bumper sticker proclaiming Man's dominance over his wife?
I've seen it a couple more times, so it wasn't a typo on this one bumper sticker.
If I were a woman, and against gay marriage, I'd be a little nervous about some of the people I'm associating with. Perhaps more than a few out there believe that one way to strengthen the marriage system in this country is to weaken the women.
Or perhaps the clip art at this bumper sticker's printer was a bit off.

I'm sure they were merely reflecting the fact that most women are smaller in stature than most men. Yep. Sure.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The only way I can *not* lose my cool when viewing one of those bumper stickers and violating many Traffic Safety laws, is to choose to believe that a Happy Marriage is always better with His and Hers bathrooms.

Maybe the sticker wasn't anti-gay marriage, but merely pro-pedophelia. Hooray for alternative lifestyles!

It seems that people are more upset by the popularity of the sentiment than by the sticker representing it.
I see both, all the time (I've never seen one where the woman was smaller - the figures are all the same size). I drive through the gay part of Dallas on the way to work, so I see the bathroom sticker (TM Banna) on Suburus and the other sticker on Ford trucks. I like lots of cognitive dissonance in my world.
