A liberated man, Louis Cutrona, and his liberated wife, Elaine E. Derso, spoke to a mostly liberated audience at a National Organization for Women meeting last night at Christ Church.
'A Search'
Cutrona spoke for 50 minutes on the subject of Men's Liberation, "a search for a new male role which is compatible with the new female role which is emerging."
I really was very much into this repressed emotion thing," Cutrona said. "I feel much better now that I can let it all out."
Derso described the means she had used to get her husband to participate in the laundry and housework but concluded that, "A lot of the agony can be spared if you have a good quick fight."
Derso said she did not want to change from her maiden name because "I didn't want to lose my identity as a person."
"It's in effect like we're roommates both of the same sex," Cutrona said, referring to the sharing of chores between him and his wife. "The advantage I have for myself [in her having a different name] is that it's fun to tell people that."
