Men and women may TEND to be different, but individuals are ALWAYS different. It’s unreasonable to shackle an individual to a role based on a generalization. You’re painting men in your image when you say you don’t like independent women. Plenty of men actually do. And almost no women enjoy being barked at, either. I see in your profile that you’re Christian. When you call God Father, do you not believe He is nurturing and self-giving? Communion is also being fed by His body, is it not? I’m Christian, too, and I don’t believe that God has gifted skill and intelligence to women just for them to be hidden away any more than I believe God has withheld any part of His nurturing heart from men.

A lot could be said here, but as one who loves and respects women, I would not say they are "hidden away" when they stay at home to care for the family. I'm not buying our society's lie that a woman reaches her full potential only when she finds employment away from the home. Her role as mother and homemaker is an awesome responsibility to be honored, not belittled. Ask any honest, non-simping man if he would not love to have a wife who cares for their children at home during the day, who makes their house a home, who acts like a wife instead of a husband. His answer will be YES. Even HECK YES. And ask yourself: Would you really respect a husband who chooses to stay at home instead of going to work; who expects you to go out and make money; who focuses on looking after the children, bottle-feeding them, and putting them down for nappy time; who do some sewing or decorating or reading; who ask what you'd like to eat after a hard day at the office? Deep down, I think you would say NO. Even HECK NO. I don't think your marriage or romance life would thrive in that situation.
