[quote=Anonymous]Here's the thing. I think the issue with this approach is the emphasis on gender. What if you take out this advice and eliminate the male/female aspect of it? Then the message is that you need to hold yourself in high-esteem, not leap into more serious levels of a relationship (sex) or deeper levels of financial entanglement (living together) until you can be really confident that you are with someone who is very good person who is mentally healthy and will treat you with respect. That's advice I'd want my son OR my daughter to follow. Reading various advice columns is a favorite pastime for me, and I'm always struck by how much garbage both male and female letter writers put up with in relationships. Reframing the pursuit of intimate relationships into a message of self-care and empowerment I think would prevent a lot of unhappiness.[/quote]
