then adds the following: "A man
can't sell his house or lot without his
wife's consent; he must pay her bills,
whatever they are. If he deserts her,
she can jug him; if she deserts him,
he has to take his medicine; if she
jilts him, he gets the laugh. If he
dies, she gets the property. If he
dies, he pays the funeral expenses;
if she hits him with skillet. the world
concludes he deserves it And still
women want their rights"
