Dr. Laura

I get annoyed quite often when I listen to Dr. Laura. Honestly, I think I have only done so a small handful of times. But I am currently reading her book, The Proper Care & Feeding of Husbands. I am reserving comment until I finish it, but there is one thing I read that grabbed me, so here it is (she is talking about masculine strength and fortitude):

"I do believe that it's to the betterment of men and society that women temper and civilize these masculine characteristics; however, to deny the reality and value of masculine traits altogether is cruel towards boys and men, not to mention foolish, as it undermines the home and country."

I agree with this 100%. I am a firm believer in women and men being totally different beings. I think most women are capable of doing most the things men do, but I do NOT believe we should do everything men do. I do not believe it is right or fair to take basic male traits and try to mold them to ourselves. I am even one of those people who think women do NOT belong in combat. I am not saying they should all do nothing but pop out babies and tend the home, but I do think that our most important role in life is to be a wife and mother. What do you think? And please keep it respectful and clean.
