    Not the same thing but this reminded me of a family story I just have to share.

    My Grandparents split up before I was born and my Grandad had another partner. One time when my Dad and I were eating at their house and his partner was in the kitchen, my Grandad whistled for her like a dog and she came into the dining room.

    Me and my Dad just looked at each other astounded and still often talk about the sheer levels of sexism that man displayed. He once said it would be great if there was something like a library where you could exchange women when you got bored of them. I think I was about 15 when he said that to me.
