Within the anonymity of the internet you are free to express your true feelings without fear of ridicule from the so-called "modern" feminist groups claiming to represent you.
You may as well admit to feeling the longing you all feel for a time when women were treated by men as women should be treated and not as weird she-men you are under pressure to become.
It is a woman's place to serve a man and a man's place to look after you women.
It's a natural and undeniable fact.
No ifs, no buts, no excuses. Fact.
And you can argue it till you are blue in the face - it doesn't wash.

Dear Bard, you would have us believe that being a free, modern woman AND being in a relationship where we are taken care of AS WE TAKE CARE OF our man is somehow mutually exclusive.
I feel no compulsion to become a weird she-man, but I relish the opportunity women have these days to follow what they want to do and be, instead of being told by men where our place is and to sit and be sweet and ladylike, as we should.
Thankfully, many men are not threatened by strong women, and actually prefer one who will stand and work along side him in achieving their goals, as opposed to someone he must direct and carry through life.
Dear Bard, your ways are an anachronism and you are a dinosaur. You and your kind are doomed to extinction. Only the strong will survive.

Put another log on the fire,
Cook me up some bacon and some beans,
Go out to the car and lift it up and change the tire,
Wash my socks and sew my old blue jeans.
Baby, fill my pipe and then go fetch my slippers,
Boil me up another pot of tea.
Then put another log on the fire, girl,
And come and tell me why youre leaving me.
Dont I let you wash the car on sunday ?
Dont I warn you when youre getting fat ?
Aint I gonna take you fishing some day ?
Well, a man cant love a woman more than that.
Aint I always nice to your kid sister,
Dont I take her driving every night ?
So sit here at my feet because I like you when youre sweet
And, besides, you know that it aint feminine to fight.

Yeah, come and tell me why youre leaving me.
