She should tell them not to be feminists- I am a male, and in my generation too many of the young ladies are either blatant (or because of the mass media/education environment feminists by defacto)! Well I intend in being a Victorian era male where I am a the head of the household, no question, but I WILL be the protector of my woman/wife even to the POINT OF DEATH. I will respect her and her opinions, but I am the leader the Knight in shining Armor, and she is the damsel in distress. Any woman that tries to take my authority is NO MAS to me, I WILL NOT marry a feminist no matter how beautiful!! If she doesn’t like it, then we will just have to move on.

I am NOT a feminist. I am a faithfully, happily married stay at home mom and wife who homeschooled for 7 years.
But I do believe that a *good* woman has to have power. I am head-strong and opinionated. But I devote all that energy into teaching, raising and protecting my children and home. I tell my husband what vitamins to take and I feed him well. *That's my job.* The man works 16 hour days to provide for us and doesn't have time to get into all that. When he comes home, I take care of him.
It's a partnership. Two days ago he held my hand and carried me out of the dr's office after a particularly painful procedure. Once we got home he kicked our two teenagers in the butt and had them clean up and make dinner.
This morning I got him a decongestant to help with a stuffed ear. I know he wanted to argue, but he didn't. He shut up and took the stupid pill.
Division of labor. That's the key. I rule the house, he assists me. He rules everything outside of these four walls and I assist him. We both have areas where we are stronger than the other. We compliment the other. We bend to the will of the other when necessary, but *both* of us have the greater good of the relationship first and foremost in our heads and hearts at all times.
Weak, subservient women don't make good wives and they *definitely* don't make good mothers. The best wives are strong, powerful and *committed* to their families. They only bend to the will of their man when he *right* and they're confident and secure enough to admit when they're wrong.
