Not wishing to be subservient to a man, does not equal hatred. I only become involved with men I respect on many levels. The respect is mutual. That becomes a true partnership and has rewards you can't even imagine.
Why am I more privy? Because from your posts AHZ, I don't think you've ever known a woman. I don't think they talk to you. I don't think they date you. I think you know as much about women of any kind, as I know about string theory.
The only woman I know who fits your image of what a woman should be, is my sister in law. She has two friends who are very much like her. It's not something I ever thought about before this thread. I realized, like sticks with like I guess. I don't know her two friends well, yet being women, they speak freely in front of me. Last summer, I was at a barbeque sitting with them. My sister in law is miserable, and mostly talks about "spending my brother's money" because he doesn't deserve a woman who is frugal. Her friend Patty, who also doesn't work, her husband stopped having sex with her after her third child. She went for plastic surgery and had a tummy tuck and a breast lift. Now he wants to have sex with her. She hates him for not wanting her before the surgery and refused to have sex with him now. They were talking divorce then, I don't know what happened. The third one, Barbara, does work. now. She didnt' when she was married to the chief of Trauma at NShore University hospital. He left her for a nurse after ten years and two kids. She has a low wage job now.
And that's all I can claim to know about these "cool young girls" you speak of. My own circle of friends is quite different. Thank God. We never talk about boys, sometimes talk about men, often talk with men, mostly talk about our interests, politics, families, and our businesses.
