EagleWoman: Glad you did because I might not have been able to word it nicely as you did!!!
There is something to be said for female reasoning and plus I'm a professional writer so I simply treated it as a "persuasive" piece,

Ron_de_Jeremy: Didn't say I was struggling to find ways to express my affection ...and there are plenty of women out there who'd much prefer to have their guy do the heavy lifting for them
You can come and do my heavy lifting any day...two yards, two houses and a mother to look after means to much to do a lot of the time...and a lot of aching bones and muscles.

tallman51: Our last 2 presidents have been women and have been excellent ambassadores for Ireland. I am hoping our next president will also be a woman !!Thomas.
Hello Tallman
and Sadly, we had Maggie who wasn't a good ambassador at all. She was heartless.

GingerBe: I think that any man who can wash dishes or clean toilets after himself is definitely showing his love........
That toilet cleaning is way overplayed. Add 1 cup of bleach to the toilet tank once a week. (not the bowl, the tank)
I'm just here to help~

lilmamma71: Well FF, things have certainly progressed since you did that long ago. There are "school" dads in my kids school and we rather like it that way, because of all the packing and unpacking of booster seats, coolers, etc.
You were a mover and shaker and didn't even know it! You were ahead of your time!

lilmamma71: The Lord works in mysterious ways Pandora!
Only a few can speak the Truth,
Maybe you should go back to Stastics, on the Time of the Womens Lib, and The Increase of Divorice...Instead of assuming,
and you say the Children are better off with a single Parent, and that they are stronger today, The Children today are so lost in this world, Its sad to even ASSUME that...
The UNBROKEN Families are the ones whos Kids are not tainted by Society, The Kids today are a MESS! and that is our Future Generations, Kids having Kids, It Quite a sad Situation...
and You say Women beaten up by Men, well Maybe You should have made a better choice in Your Partner....
And Had Respect for His Duty, and Not Stand in His ( Gods) Authority,
So If This is every womans Mindset, Why have a Dating Site???
So You want a Man who YOU will Rule???????
Good Luck with that

chris27292729: Smashing plates is out of fashion.- Now days they smash plates when a couple have a fight inside the house.
funny you should say that a few years back a colleague of mine came into work saying she'd had a wonderful weekend...
Apparently she was really frustrated and pissed off about something and went into the kitchen to tidy up. Suddenly she felt this urge to smash the plates she was getting out of the dishwasher ... so she did ... One plate down!!! Her husband went into the kitchen saw what she was doing and grabbed a plate and smashed it too. And so they took it in turn ... the kids heard the noise went to see what was happening and left them to it!!!
Once it was over they
then got in their care and went to buy some new plates!!! She said was best therapy she ever had and cheaper ------ This thread is Archived ------
Boban1: now that`s exactly what Im talking about
none of us will give up on their so called freedom ( I`ve no idea what that really means ) none of us will compromise and we all do expect some miracle which will sweep us off our feet
none of us will give up on their so called freedom ( I`ve no idea what that really means ) none of us will compromise and we all do expect some miracle which will sweep us off our feet
So-called freedoms to me means a person that will love and adore me and not try to control me and stifle my spirit, just as I would be prepared to do for them. We are a person before we find our other half and we should never forget our own interests, likes, dislikes, opinions, etc.
We should strive to share equally and to be considerate of each other, differences and all.

To me, freedom in this instance means free will without being dictated to. In other words, he doesn't try to control your behavior, etc. It's about him respecting who you are as you are and not trying to change you to suit some sort of ideal/preference he has.
This does not mean I won't compromise... but that compromise has to come from both parties when necessary and there are just some things that can't and shouldn't be compromised on.
As for sweeping you off your feet, all that takes is someone special who accepts and revels in exactly who you are and you feeling the same way about them. Simple, really.

RDM59: Yes, I understand this sad and manipulative history ....
Do you think it was this way also within the more pagan based religions that seemed to hold greater respect for women ?

I'd like to think that there was a wiser respect for the balance of nature and that team work ensured greater survival in that environment.
I do wonder whether the male dominance thing came about as a homeostatic swing though.
Maybe, power balance is like a pendulum and each time it swings, the arc gets smaller until it stops, hopefully, dead centre.
My word that was a bit poetic...

I think the key word is compromise because none of us want to be bossed around by someone else.
I also think that many people feel fear of loosing their identity if they have a relationship with someone who's personnality is too strong.
For me loss of freedom is having my husband telling me "No you can't go to the pub/club for a drink with your friends tonight because I'm your husband and I say so". (This has happened to me in the past.)
Loss of freedom can be many things when they are not based on honest communication and reaching an agreement workable for both parties without resentment or abdication. Simply agree to a course of action.

Oh, it wasn't anything that wasn't survivable...Upside, the kids liked me...that's all i cared about. The situation w/the "adults" just plays into "social roles" at the time. It may be different now?
