Great points. Not to bash woman, but most are oblivious to their surroundings and are prone to social acceptance behavior - a dangerous combination. The men of those households are not exerting themselves to protect their families. This is what happens when men are effeminate and women take control of a household/relationship. Gender roles established in Genesis by the Lord were created for this very reason.

That sign in the yard you witnessed is the apple on the Tree of Knowledge.
