'It's called being pussy-whipped!'
When David blames his family's problems on his mother, claiming that Elaine "pussy-whipped" Arnold throughout their entire marriage, all I could think of was James Dean in Rebel Without A Cause being embarrassed of his father being ordered around by his mother all the time.
Does this thing even happen in modern-day families, or do some guys just make it up out of irrational frustrations?
