I have a theory about women's lib. I think women's lib single-handedly made life worse for our society. Let's go back in time, a time when women dressed like women and men dressed like men. How bad of a deal could it have been to be a stay at home mom, married to a guy who made enough money to really take care of the family and he looked hot doing it in a suit? Heck, even the auto mechanics had cool uniforms and clean garages...but, not anymore!
Now, fast forward to today. When you look around, what do we see? We see poverty like never before, untrustworthy business deals, the divorce rate is insane and children being raised without their Fathers has become the norm and the only guy that gets a woman's motor running is the good looking UPS guy who wears a what...A clean, crisp, uniform! Where did this downfall begin? With women's lib, I say!
Personally, I'm all for a man opening my door, for working for a wage that matches his efforts, experience and education, and I'm for kid's coming home to both parents, even if those parents don't happen to be together, because, let's face it, sometimes, other people make impossible partners. I'm also for a military where I'm confident that some big burly man will be able to pick up a fellow soldier because he's THAT strong...now, I wonder how those petite women can so much as lift their combat boots.
When women's lib came along, women wanted equality in the home, equality in the workplace, equal pay for equal work, etc. I'm just curious how two entities can be equal when they obviously aren't. I know that I can't lift as much as a Man, but a Man can't handle pain as well as I can; he can probably outsmart me in Math and probably English, but I can outdo him in flexibility. Mentally and physically, we are not equal. Maybe it's just my lack of Math skills but I always thought that 1+1=2? Two equals rendering the same result no matter how you flip flop them around. Maybe I've been wrong all this time.
The reality of my personal experience is that although my Fiance and I are incredibly different, I'm ok with that. I like that he can carry me if he wanted, that he can drive further on a road trip while I sleep soundly next to him, and that he carries all the groceries into the house, because he wants to save me from having to carry all those heavy bags. In turn, I'm sure there are tons of things that as a Man he doesn't have to do because he's not a woman...such as PMS, child birth, waxing...you get the picture.
I think Men are gorgeous being Men and women...ok, some women, should just count their blessings and realize that they really do have a good thing when their Man wants to hold a door open for them. He's not saying that we're weak...he's saying, 'I'll touch that nasty door that some snot nosed little kid probably just wiped his boogers on, because I love you that much'.
