Every day I am thankful for the women’s movement. It wasn’t so long ago women were believed to be intelligently inferior to men. The women’s movement, has made it possible for women to leave the kitchen and join the workforce (if they so choose). Post-secondary education
has no longer become a place of finding a husband, but rather a place of learning. Today, more women are exploring their non-domestic interests… and yet there is a balance to this equation. I have a lot of male friends who would prefer to have a housewife. Likewise, for the longest time, I wanted to marry a house husband. (While there have been some claims of their existence, I now realize they are largely a myth.)

I believe it takes an equally strong man to be with a strong and assertive woman. Just as girls learn about the “damsel in distress”, boys are also taught the value of being a hero and prince charming combined. A powerful woman changes the fairytale story for a man, and so the look of being “saved” takes on a whole new meaning.
Damsel not in distress … but, just trying to rule the world,
