Greetings
By ‘domestic doormat’, a woman totally and utterly under her husband’s thumb who does nothing but slave away in the house is meant.
“In many parts of the ancient world, there were only two rôle models for women: the prostitute and the domestic doormat.”
Best wishes, and many thanks,
Simon

eve hapsolmuş köle
Tamamen deyimleşmiş bir ifade, yani bu bağlamda "doormat" denince gerçek paspas neredeyse akla gelmiyor. Anlam çevirisi artık.
