Stand By Your Man

I'm sitting here listening to Tammy Wynette, one of the all-time queens of country music in America. When I was singing country music years ago, I always wanted to sing like her. "Stand By Your Man" is one of my favorite songs of hers. But I do get a good laugh every time I hear the line, "And if you love him, oh, be proud of him, 'Cause after all he's just a man." Wow, what a passive/aggressive statement. You know, you girls should stand by your guy, no matter what because, really, he can't help being an idiot at times. He's just a man. Maybe Tammy wasn't such a sweet little wife to George after all.

I think she really was one of the best. She could hit those low and high notes.

Some celebrity wives stand by their husbands through thick and thin.

Years ago I wrote a little song about Hillary Clinton "standing by her man."

I've always felt that line was a light slap in the face to the male gender of humanity.
