how about a strong wife, and an even stronger husband? I believe that generally speaking, men should protect women, and that women should not be in combat, but I will protect my children and people weaker than myself.
Why should I be weak? How will that make my husband stronger? My husband will be stronger if I am strong and can carry my share of the burden.
Weak women. Go tell the pioneers. Go tell your ancestors. Any one of us is here because our ancestors were survivors - and that means our grandmothers and great grandmothers too. And the survivors weren't weak.
