[quote=Anonymous]It's delightful letting go of gender roles and not giving in to others' pressure and expectations. Try it. My in-laws are hardcore traditionalists from another culture, where women do everything (and get blamed for every transgression of men's), while men sit around like princes smoking and drinking and being waited on. I used to try to do things with the women, to bond with them, but they were and are so uncomfortable with me, it's as if I were a man. So I go sit with the men and have a drink and chat. Win win! (Since I quit buying the gifts and cards for them it's been quite relaxing, too. I don't care if they blame me, when it's his responsibility. I'm nice enough to remind him, and if he wants to make an effort, he can.)[/quote]
