One of my friends wanted me to include a blog entry about being a strong independent woman. Should a smart independent woman put up with a man who gets threatened by her ‘independence’?
Before I give you my opinion, here is a little caveat. I am a Mexican/American woman, who even though is very strong and independent and not willing to settle for just any man, (not even when my mom asked me if I was gay when I was still not married by the age of 34. Nothing wrong with being gay.....unfortunatly I'm not). I still believe that the woman is the one that holds a family together, the one that should nurture her family and at the very least make sure they don't go out into the world with wrinkled clothes. I know this sounds a little archaic, but I that's what I believe.
As to the topic at hand, here is my opinion (because you know I have one!)
If you are a single woman you have to be strong or you will not last very long in the real world. (I recommend every woman go and live on her own before she gets married. It builds character.) Would I prefer to have someone who would throw out the trash and make sure my car was washed and filled with gas…OF COURSE! Am I willing to put up with a jerk to make that happen……NO!
Please read below for more of my thoughts on this subject.
1. As a single independent woman all I can say is, if a man does not love and respect who you are (which includes ALL that you are), then he is not worth the MAC make-up you buy and slap on to look pretty for him.
2. If you have to ‘baby’ a man because his feelings get hurt when you are not at his ‘beck and call’, then slap some diapers on him and send him back to his mama’. You didn't give birth to him...why should you raise him?
3. A man who is comfortable with who he is will not be threatened by your independence. (By the gun you said you would shoot him with if he ever cheated on you…yes.)
Note: Take into consideration that I am still single and not currently dating….Hmmm, could it be the ‘gun’ thing?

I concur, although --- even if you are married it doesn't mean he'll throw out the trash or wash your car. In my house I throw out the trash when i'm in a bad mood is the only time he does.
My husband is a mechanic and I had the change oil sign on my car for like 6 months. So do you think he washes it??? NOT! Oh and yes he finally changed the oil, because i went to Costco and bought the oil and put it in his passenger seat so he can see it in his car every day!!!!
