If you're a person of honor, and true human feeling - you probably think it's a great idea that your kids go to college (or at least have a pathway open in that direction). You also probably think it's alright that your wife (and female offspring?) think of themselves as something like an equal - in both the household and the workplace - if they perhaps have such shocking notions as a role in life beyond trad-wife.

Other than that ... We're pretty much all good!
