Maybe I feel that so strongly because I grew up on classic fairy tales. But I also grew up in karate classes, riding horses, and on the general notion that women kick ass; we can be our own knights in our own shining armor; we can ride our own damn horse. If the man of your dreams wants to ride along side you, fabulous! If he wants to stay home with the babies while you bring home the bacon, fabulous! And if you want to stay home with the babies and let him “Hi Ho!” off to work every day … you guessed it … fabulous! We are independent, strong, and capable of living with or without a man. Or a woman for that matter. If you yearn to get married then do it. If you want to be single forever, do it. If you and your girlfriend choose to get married (hopefully in any state soon) and have babies, do it! Ladies, we have options. We get to be whomever we choose, and we have the right to make new versions of those choices whenever we so desire.
