I agree, but only to a point. I agree completely that it's a good thing and everything. But personally if a woman is too independent it's a major turn off. There has to be a balance, at least personally, I think they (women) should be independent in the sense that we (men) don't have to do every little thing for them, so they can be self sufficient, but there is a line. I think that we should be able to help them or treat them to something special without having them flip out. I guess you could kind of boil it down to saying that we should feel needed and helpful/useful but not obligated and completely depended upon.
So while I am all for women's rights and progression and all that good stuff, I think there is a point (at least in home life/relationships) that women shouldn't cross. Or at the very least should pretend not to cross. Because otherwise there will be a crap load of depressed, emasculated men out there. And if that happens, nobody wins.
