What I see is a typical situation in traditional patriarchal society. The father holds all the cards: the money, the house, the social respectability. The mother (or perhaps stepmother?) is disgusted but powerless. But who knows who she is calling on that phone...?
Without feminism, women today would not have the almost-equal standing they do. I can't just quietly accept reflex jabs against an important movement that we all have benefited from, both male and female. It wasn't that long ago that everyone accepted that women were second-class citizens, bound to obey their fathers and then their husbands. Equality has caused problems, I agree, but it sure beats inequality.
