Okay, I totally respect how you want to live your life. That's totally cool with me. However, you're saying that having choices confuses women because we're going to be criticized for whatever we do. The thing is, that might be true for you but it's certainly not true for many women. I'm rarely, if ever, criticized for anything I do, and even if I was, it would in no way confuse me at all because I don't give a rat's ass what anyone else thinks about how I live my life. I guess what bothers me about what you said is that it implies that women are either too stupid to make up their own minds, or that they're too spineless to do what they want how they want and not be bothered by what anyone else thinks of them. That's not always true.
I'm curious about what you posted earlier about how girls used to learn more about how to run a household. Do you know what they actually learned? I'm curious about it -- it was an entire course of study? I find that fascinating because I can't imagine how it would be necessary -- I mean, it's not that hard to clean the house, or read a cookbook if you don't know how to cook. Was there a lot more to it than that?
