"...your reliance on vague words like "traditional" and "normal " when discussing strong women you dont fear makes me think you are threatened by anything not normal and not traditional....." You are in control of your own thoughts, which are in this case, not reflective of the information I provided you. I was merely making observations of fact and circumstance. In many individual circumstances, a lifestyle away from the traditional norm has a lot to offer and I can personally attest to that. I don't see any benefit in turning this topic into personal confessions or self-disclosure, and I find it odd that you keep pushing for that. We were not discussing or comparing every alternative life style and circumstance. We should not need to quible over what qualifies as traditional, as the way I couched the term is adequate with out being to restrictive. Like wise the term normal should not have to be qualified. But if you need some reference to my thinking, it is someone (most people) who considers an issue without being effected by mental illness, has lived a commonly relevant life and so is a person who is able to think things through using common references, and who is employing reason with an IQ in the normal range. We were discussing why some people fear strong women, where that fear comes from and how it is manifest. I offered some insight but I personally don't fear women at all, any of them, I adore them ... mostly from afar. I don't think other people should fear strong women either but I can see how they fall into it. I am not sure what your contention is with the way I laid that out. Rather than discuss the premise I proposed, you keep refering to what you think is my ulterior disposition ... frankly, I find that odd/interesting which is OK but it is also irrelevant which is a distraction.
