(However, I'm still tempted to say, "Hey, there's a lady present!" when someone lets loose with a bunch of profanity. )

That is my issue with what you posted. I have no problem with what you said, but its the women that want it both ways. Treat me as an equal, but when it suits me I want to play the "hey I'm a woman card." I am old school in thinking, however I am young. I hold doors for women, let a woman get her food first, etc. I see this as respect, not because a woman is "weak."

I feel like both sexes should help with raising the kids, cooking, cleaning, etc. We need to see each other as equals and to respect the differences that make a man a man, and a woman a woman.
