Fearless,

Love your post. And agree totally.

Throughout different conversations on this board the question has been asked. How to define womanly traits versus manly traits. I don't think anyone has actually done it to any degree of success.

It is interesting that you are an engineer. I majored in engineering physics in college. In the series of physics classes I took I only remember one female. She was not what you would expect to see in the classes and I still don't know why she was there as I'm sure it wasn't her major. I helped her through those classes. The stereotype held in my experience. But then on the other hand I was an anomaly also being one of two Caucasians. So I guess Asian men are smarter huh :-)

But I think you hit on a big one.

For me the bigger issue with women like your wife is that potentially she is actually denying her womanliness because she sees that as the issue rather than seeing it's her fear of her womanliness that might be the issue.

I'm not sure if that makes sense but I think it's any interesting subject.



I think we have all been looking at what is not womanly instead of what is. Can I define it? No. Not my area of expertise and I have a hard enough time making sure I am being manly.

So your good at math and does that make you any less of a woman. Hell no, big turn on in my book.

I'll address the rest later, there is much here for discussion.
