It is the opening debate of the 2001 World Women's Conference on the Subject of Female Assertiveness.

The first speaker from Canada stood up:

"At last year's conference we spoke about being more assertive with our husbands.
Well, after the conference I went home and told my husband that I would no longer cook for him and that he would have to do it himself.
After the first day I saw nothing. After the second day I still saw nothing. But after the third day I saw that he had cooked a wonderful roast lamb."

The crowd applauded.

The second speaker from France stood up:

"After last year's Conference I went home and told my husband that I would no longer do his laundry and that he would have to do it himself. After the first day I saw nothing. After the second day I saw nothing. But after the third day I saw that he had done not only his own washing but my washing as well."

The crowd cheered.

The third speaker from Glasgow stood up:
