[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meh, I think women have as much responsiblity as men in relationships and can control their own destiny. Noen of this passivity.

Men and women can choose to end dating relationships that aren't working for them. It doesn't mean either was duped, it is what dating is for. To see if you want to make a life long committment and if at some point one person doesn't, they should end it.

I am completely agains the sexist tradition of proposal / engagement rings as some required ritual or the idea that women's dreams in life are about rings and white dresses.

[b]Women need to start living their own lives, making their own decisions, and being active and autonomous in their life choices. They aren't damsels in distress, or weak, helpless, passive beings who exist at the whim of men. [/b][/quote]

This is a lesson I am finally learning in my mid forties post divorce. I look back over my 20s and see how I consistently made choices that benefitted everyone but me. I hope I can model better for my kids. [/quote]

That is great. Do it! I have always lived that way. I grew up as a child in a pretty conservative area and had decided by the time I was an early teen that I would live my own life and be as strong and as capable and as responsible for my life choices as anyone else. I am 50 now. Never regretted it, and have never seen the appeal or benefit of acting weak or passive or helpless. [/quote]
