I was engaging in a conversation yesterday about role reversal in today's relationships. Men who are soft, women are breadwinners and such. I blame Beyonce for this so-called independent woman movement. She preaches thru her music to young girls that you don't need a man for shit unless he can do something for you and also that the things he does for you are things you can do for yourself. My question is this....why even be with a man if you don't need him. While shes telling you to tell him "if you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it" shes happily married to her prince charming.
I personally never could buy into all of that. I was raised in the south and I have traditional southern values. My parents were married for over 30 years before my father passed away. I prefer the traditional role in my relationship. He is the man and he wears the pants because I look better in a skirt anyway. Don't get me wrong I'm currently running my own household and I can do that on my own but whatever man comes into the picture I realize I'm gonna have to step down and let him take that role and follow his lead. I have no problem doing this, I want to do this. I could never be with a man who didn't know how to be a man. I would never respect him.
It says in the bible that a woman is her mans help mate. He who finds a wife finds a good thing. I doesn't say anywhere in there she who finds a husband or to run over top of him, dominate and emasculate him. Chilvary is not dead but why should he treat you like a lady when you wanna wear the pants?
This is just my point of view.
