Why thank you!
Seriously, when I was young, my mother actually tried to "train" this out of me telling me that "no man will want me if I act like I can do things. She would tell me that I needed to let "the man" feel like hes stronger. I told her that I didnt want to play act my whole life and if a man couldnt deal with me then so be it. Interestingly, my husband hates nothing more than a "helpless female", but over all my mother was right in a way. In my 20's most of the guys seemed to steer clear of me. Now it seems my husband gets offers , if he doesnt want me anymore... LOL! Many of our male motorsports friends have said the same thing, "where were women like me?" I have to say "where were all you guys 25 years ago?"
Either men have matured and grown more confident, or the younger generation is not so into gender roles. Both good.
Reminds me of a middle school health class assignment my kids all had at one point. The had to interview mom and dad and ask what tasks they each could do. I could see they were aiming at gender roles. Well my kids all went in with every task checked off for both of us! Dad can cook sew as well as mow grass, work on the car, etc... Well so can mom! I have to hand it to the kids today, they all thought it was ultimately cool. I dont know how the stereotypical woman does it, I mena today for instance I had to take my younger two kids to the dentitst. In the waiting room there was a tv and they had on some soap opera. Ugh! I just played with my iPhone LOL and made comments with the kid who wasn't in getting his teeth cleaned.
