(110,159 posts)but, i am not going to get into it.
the point of your post and what i read in another post of wanting you to wear a dress.
your man seems to be heavily immersed in the conditioned roles of gender defining masculinity and femininity, man/woman, which is an odd place for you to sit seeing who you are.
we have had this conversation on the simple act of holding the door open. my sons dating and teaching them the rules, yet... by doing this, are we reinforcing the mentality? and if expected and dont do it, are we sitting the boys up to be perceived as ill mannered?
it is a quandary.
i always paid my way. i am bothered that still today after so many years, that role is still there. i encourage my boys to shrug that one off. though they play that by ear. a tough one. the kids need to figure this out i guess.
i also had a man put hand on back and guide me. that one has always bothered me and i shrug it off.
but interesting questions.
