Do you envy women?

Men have to do all of that but as well as BEING stuff we have to DO stuff..... We have to make money, we have to be respected among our peers, we have to wield an amount of power, we have to command respect, we have to have a nicer house than you, we have to pretend we have everything under control.......

And that can be difficult........

I gotta ask what year/decade are you living in, SF??

Maybe I am one of the few women out there that has to be the breadwinner, pay the bills AND do the cooking, raising children and trying to have a life. I believe that there are a huge amount of women who are solo living without support of a partner to pay or help pay the bills.

Not judging you harshly .... just curious.

I have to concede that I may have simplified an already over simplistic premise.... my off-the-cuff post referred to a situation I have found myself AGAIN going through, but in truth, this perhaps reflects more upon my choice of partner rather then any general behaviour on the part of most women....

And for that I SINCERELY APOLOGISE.......

Of Course, women are equal in every respect to men, (and in some cases, better) my point was simply that in The Sexual Arena, men seem to need to be bullet-proof in terms of vulnerability and control in a way that women don't have to be....

I realise I'm still in a hole with a shovel..... But Believe me, I fully acknowledge the VAST numbers of women who alone, or with a partner, take full control over their own lives and the lives of those they love and protect...

I was speaking PURELY subjectively, and about recent upsets in my own life.

Obviously, I take NO OFFENCE at your considered response, and I'm grateful to be allowed respond to your well worded and thoughtfully phrased critique.....

You have my regard and my respect...

I pray I might be worthy of yours.
