We tell the world we value our independence, some of us going so far as to scream at a guy for having the courtesy to hold a door open for us so it doesn't smash us in the face, and yet, when we get married, we expect to be taken care of financially, no matter how much money we ourselves personally make.
--In answer to the near domestic slavery of bygone eras, we have become hyper independent, with an I don't need no man attitude, that has started to make our valued partners feel like little more than a walking sex toy.
--We want equality, but the man has to pay for every date or he is looked down upon.
--We want to be put on pedestals, but frown on a woman who wants to do the same for her man.
--We want all our needs met, but when a man expresses a desire that is not feminine (because hey, they are men, not women) we scoff, demean them and make fun.
The largest of all these offenses has to be that we, more often than not, place the value of a man in his wallet and not in his soul.
