(12,958 posts)...is through what they post. When someone is offended by things like asking a girl out on a date or opening a car door for my wife, or something equally basic, they obviously have no clue how these things work.
I have never tied my sexuality to capitalism or the media. I have no clue where that comes from lol.
I have respect for people who have respect for me, otherwise, not so much. Anti-heterosexual = I do not have respect for. Anti-male = I have no respect for. Anti-female = I have no respect for.
My wife is the perfect feminist IMHO. She is feminine, loves having doors opened for her, loves attention from men. She is also highly independent, will tell anyone what she thinks of them to their face, is a work-a-holic and successful. As I have said before, when I met her she drove a nicer car than I did and she still makes a lot more money than I do. She is sexually aggressive and goes after what she wants. She does her own thing in sports. She is an avid skiier, going 20 or so times per year, compared to my 5 or 6. She sails, she does a million things independent of me. She is the best of all worlds, IMHO. She is a feminist and a very feminine woman. She doesn't go around trying to control peoples thinking or sex lives. She respects people being who they want to be.
Lucky me.
