    Nothing more alluring than a strong woman. Manhood is not about hunting, fishing, and fighting and womanhood has nothing to do with cooking, cleaning and sewing... It is about becoming the best you that you can be.. I think you can have strength and still like flowers... Nothing wrong with that.

    not me.... i wish i was like that.. but im not... i dont even like opening 2 liters with my hands ( they scrape and turn red) i have to twist it with my teeth haha....

    I cant even open a pickle jar unless i put it in between my thighs and use a towel protecting my hands then I twist as hard as i could about 6 times then it pops open...

    I love being a strong independent woman.

    I own my own home, in which I fitted my own kitchen with my own tools and I lift big weights.

    I also like tea and cake, I wear dresses and make-up and I knit and crochet.

    My husband has pictures of female boxers on his computer desktop. I think he doesn't care much for the conventional definition of feminine. Which is good, because neither do I.

    Warning : RANT.

    I am a girl, I like girly things, I also drive a '78 Chevy K-5 Blazer, shoot an SKS, change my own tires, and fix my own damn plumbing...I AM STILL A GIRL! One more person insinuates that I'm "too tough to be girly" I'm gonna curtsy all over their face....
    Sheesh. Please tell me I'm not the only one?

    You're too tough to be girly. *

    *Note: I don't care one way or the other, I just want you to curtsy all over my face. :laugh:


    :laugh: Ok... buts its not gonna be how you imagined it! :devil:

    Keep things in perspective: half the people you ever meet are below average. At least they are nice enough to identify themselves.

    Handy tip for opening jars with lids... Tap edge of lid on kitchen counter once. Button pops up, lid opens easily.
    Kind regards, Martha Stewart.

    Strong women come in all types of packaging.

    This rant is fantastic.

    I weight lift.

    I love floral print anything.

    Nothing is better than a solid ninja movie.

    I have seen Bridget Jones Diary more times than I care to count.

    I have gone to more classical car fairs than people who actually own classical cars.

    My socks currently have pink stars on them and that makes me extraordinarily happy.

    Why do we have these gender stereotypes at all? The fact that standards like these still exist astounds me. Here's to breaking the mold and making strides for feminine strong women of the future.

    Perfect for people who love Tchaikovsky AND old automobiles!
