Thanks, all. Iamhealingme, I want to comment on something you said. I can't change a tire (but believe I should learn) or do any kind of car repairs, but even if I could, I would agree...I'd rather someone (doesn't have to be a man) do it for me. Same with dishes. Just to clarify, I'm not saying you should do everything for yourself, but just be able to or have the means to hire someone. I'm absolutely happy to pay someone to do stuff I don't like, and I think they should be paid well. I just don't think we should play the "helpless female" role.

I also want to add, just in case I came across as such, I am not saying there's anything wrong with wanting a husband and/or child(ren)--I would like a husband, although not kids--but it's the idea that you are unworthy of being a woman if you don't "accomplish" these goals.

The attitude of this woman will set women's rights back 50 years if we accept it. I like having the right to vote, to pursue pleasure, to seek a job I enjoy, to have a full education, etc. Way back when the man was the sole breadwinner, he could choose almost any line of business he wanted, or at least had the opportunity to learn something that interests him. So, he could earn money doing something he enjoyed. There aren't many ways a woman can clean a house...so she can't look for something that will help her enjoy cleaning her house if she doesn't like cleaning.

I don't know why some people have such a problem with men and women being equal and sharing in the responsibilities.
