I admit my first several posts were invidious and I probably didn't need to add so much, uhh... flair, but now I really can't believe what I am reading, and I would like to understand this better.

SugahBritches - please clarify for me your exact position, without talking about your youth (where did that even come from, and how is it relevant?). You actually want to revert to the time when women were thought of as the weaker sex, incapable of taking care of themselves? You would prefer it that there is no sex equality and women are expected to stay in the kitchen and cook until the man comes home from work? You want men to place women on a pedestal, to be treated like objects and not as human beings, capable of taking charge of their own lives? You would prefer it if your sole purpose in life were to show gratitude to men who would treat you as less than a whole person? That is truly astounding to me.

I do nice things for my SO because I love her and I think she deserves them. I treat her well by virtue of who she is, not what she is. Not because I think she is a glass doll who needs to be protected from the harsh realities of life. I would like to protect her from bad things not because I think she is incapable of handling them, but because I love her and want to see her happy. I have no obligation to treat her well, I do it freely of my own accord. I don't try to do right by her because a medieval concept tells me to, I do it because I want to do it.

I am actually offended for all of the women who fought for equal rights. They would roll over in their graves if they read this thread. To think that some women would like to throw all that progress away simply because they want guys to hold doors open and pull out chairs is truly disturbing. I am glad that I found a woman who realizes that she is a human being and who understands that she should be treated well, not simply because she is a woman, but because she is a wonderful human being.
