Are wives really this rotten?

On Slate's recent Dear Prudence video podcasts, Emily Yoffe, who plays the role as Prudence, was giving advice to a pregnant woman who was suffering from nausea while at work.  Yoffe said:

Oh yes, I remember in my third month my husband was heating up Chinese food for dinner. I made him eat it on the porch.

I hate this. Hate it. Hate it. Hate it.

Do you know what I'm talking about?  Note how Yoffe said that she "made her husband eat on the porch."

Made him?

Why do so many women insist...
