Tough Love

Call me ungrateful or old-fashioned but I have never been fully appreciative of the equal rights crusade for woman in the 50's or the whole feminine movement of the 60's. Of course I believe woman should get equal treatment where it counts, like in the job market and in relationships but I also firmly believe that some of those old fashion grandma time ideals work perfectly fine in today’s society. I would love to be a housewife and spend my husband’s money. Hell, working every day to provide for you is not all it's cracked up to be. Sure, you get to enjoy your paycheck, but I would enjoy spending someone else paycheck much more. Let's be honest... If there was no need to work would most woman want to? But, I do understand and believe in holding your own as a woman because you never know when that man you rely so greatly upon will disappear.
Yet, I find that providing for myself and not having to count on anyone, also has it's less than obvious drawbacks (you know besides having to work). The "be an independent woman" mantra can be overrated at times. This is especially so because often you as an “independent woman” attract leaches AKA men who live off their woman.
