I understand that...my question is, what is an independent thinker, and what is stubborn/hardheaded to you? It seems to me that many brothers consider a woman who doesn't take in all he has to say as the gospel truth a "rockhead," as you so...ummm..."interestingly" put it. I'm surprised to see so many sisters on here willingly use that word to describe themselves and others. (??!!)

Using stubborn/hardheaded and woman in the same sentence seems wrong to me. I always think of children when someone says/writes those words...and it seems to fall into that tired stereotype of the neck-poppin', loud-mouthed black woman that seems to be prevelant.
