Do We Want Equality?

I've been thinking about this issue quite a bit.


When making love with your partner, do you mostly need to switch back to being a feminine person?  It works best for me that way.  How about you?


Yet, in the rest of my life, I'm working right along side of men, in the trenches so to speak, working full time, as well as running a household, looking after a baby granddaughter  40 hours a week and going to hot yoga at every opportunity.  My personal gift to myself.  Some semblance of balance.


We women no longer wear dresses.  Dresses do make one feel feminine.  They show off ones curves and attract those men like flies, which secretly we love.


Yet, they are totally impractical to work in. Can you make presentations in the board room without sexism creeping in? While wearing dresses, can you climb into an SUV with bags of groceries, clean up the kids who are hungry, keep the dishwasher monster under control as well as the laundry which is calling you constantly. Or work all day in shoes with heels so you can feel and look feminine?


How do you feel feminine?  Do you feel relaxed enough, stress free enough to be affectionate with your partner?  Do you want to stay home and have your partner bring in the bacon yet control you due to the resentment that often is harbored by the working partner?  Do you want equality?
