Hi miracles2u!
First...Pianoguy LOVES your ivillage user name. .
I honestly think there are 2 types of men.....the ones who were brought up in a household where women just did the chores, were "seen and not heard"----and as you put it, were considered "damsels in distress!"
However, there's another type of male who is able to respect (or at least listen to) the viewpoints of a woman without making a lot of commotion. Now whether they can honestly accept the opinion, attitude or personality of that 'outspoken lady' is another issue entirely!
Maybe it's because "an opinionated woman" often has to push her point of view a little harder than a man would...in order to be heard?
While there's nothing wrong with standing up for what you believe in....a lot of men aren't in the mood to 'argue your point with you!' So we'll usually dismiss it and change the subject.
And this usually makes most women even madder at US than they were before?
