Gender roles…

Ann Coulter, is that you?

svelte, thank you for sharing. It’s refreshing to hear there isn’t a power position in your relationship and you don’t regard your wife as a possesion. Neither men nor women should inter relationships based on what is in their own best interests. There doesn’t seem to be much consideration for the other party’s feelings in relationships these days. Far too often, it’s about “what’s in it for ME”.

But getting back to my major beef, it’s the attitude some men have with regards to feeling they need to be in control of the relationship. I don’t understand the attitude among a lot of men these days of, “I make the most money, therefore I get to control you/the household/the kids”.

Being with this kind of man is my worst nightmare.

Having said that, it appears many women try to control the relationship with sex.

Being this kind of woman is my worst nightmare. The woman resorts to this because she wants to take advantage or because she has married a man that has to have control. I find both scenarios highly distateful. I will not put myself in either situation.

Consumerism is wrong. And most people reading this thread have been force fed consumerism from before they could make their own decisions — and what’s more, they don’t even realize it.

So I am very fed up with mindless buying. I managed to claw my way into the light of reason, and I have been patiently (and somewhat impatiently) educating my LTR as well. It has nothing to do with control over spending — it has everything to do with carrying yet another pair of shoes, or yet another sheet set, or yet another antique lamp with us for the rest of our lives.

So yes, I understand that modern women control their finances, that no man is going to tell them what they can’t buy, and that is very empowering and I am proud for them. But it just seems like they are trading one leash for another.
