Tigre,

How about giving some female examples for American women to look to as role models? I know there have been some.

Here's a stumper for you guys who despair over the state of American womanhood and yearn for the return of "traditional" women:

There are traditions, and then again there are traditions.

Having a strong sense of personal independence is a very American tradition. Our culture places a lot of emphasis on preserving individuality, self-reliance, and personal initiative.

American women who adopt these values are living in the tradition of Benjamin Franklin, Lewis and Clark, Fredrick Douglass, [insert name of personal American hero here] every bit as much as their male counterparts.

A few others, off the top of my head:

Angelina & Sarah Grimke - Southern leaders of the anti-slavery movement

Sophia Smith and Mary Lyon - founded prestigious universities for women (Smith and Mount Holyoke Colleges, respectively) that maintain their academic reputations to this day

Anne Hutchinson - co-founded the American colony that eventually became Rhode Island, and was the first American colony to allow complete religous freedom in its charter

Nellie Bly - investigative journalist, uncovered anti-trust and labor violations committed by the Standard Oil Company

Jane Addams - founder of Hull House, America's first transitional housing program for the poor and mentally ill

Helen Hunt Jackson - wrote the book "A Century of Dishonor," an accounting of the injustices perpetrated against Native American tribes by the U.S. government

47 pages...OMG!!!!

All I can say is that I fully expect the woman I marry will change. If she doesnt then obviously she is not alive and thinking. The degree of change will be up to her and what she choses to adapt and make her own versus what she rejects.

Change is inevidble and you either learn from it or fear it and run screaming!!!

always remember with change there will be some insecurities on both parties part..but over time it goes away

life is a series of adjustments...those who adjust the best are the one's who find peace and happiness...dr dean

This thread is still going?

Anyways, I'm here and I've definitely changed. I'm finally warm, I'm no longer overworked, I have time to eat and I don't mind if someone leaves the seat up. Damn USA for making me sane.
