Hairy,
When I realized that I, as a modern female raised by feminist, strong-willed and domineering women, wanted a strong man who kept me in line, well let's just say I was flabbergasted. (or fiberblasted as H's co-worker likes to say--with a straight face, too)

It's weird but true. What can I say.

Good for you and especially good for you for insisting that it not happen in front of D4. I think that much damage was done to my marriage by watching my mom and grandma run roughshod over the men in their lives. Kwim?
