Another of her favorite things is to say to one (or both) of our teenaged daughters (17, 16) "you don't need a man," or "a woman doesn't need a man," or "you don't HAVE to have a boyfriend to be happy."

Now, for the most part, I AGREE with that, but it depends how you say it. "Honey, I want you to be happy on your own, and have your own interests that give you fulfillment. Then, when you find the right man that God has picked out for you, that'll all be GRAVY and add even MORE happiness to your life!"

That's VERY different than the way she says it, and she seems to take some great sort of satisfaction in these utterances. The more I read about Hairdoggie's wife and sitch, the more similarities I see with my own DW with all of the "men are evil" krap.

But yeah, it does hurt.

Choc.
