Martian, thanks for that post. Extremely well-written, and it really helps me put some of the things that have been going on in my head into words. I found myself agreeing with everything you wrote.

Crazymodern... as Martian said, the gender roles could very well be reversed in some situations... but at the same time, I think it's important to realize that men and women *are* different. For thousands of years, men have been raised as men, and women as women. With that, each gender has had their particular roles to play in relationships. The aspects of those roles are becoming more balanced with each generation, but we can still fall into the traps that Martian described, whether we like it or not...

Thanks again Martian.
