If men leave, that's it. There is no coming back. If they fail, they don't even GET that one chance.
Strong women know themselves and take crap from no one, male or female.
Strong women assert themselves, state their opinions and make themselves heard. It's up to us to pave the way for strength and cull out the stupid. Just ask the man I live with and he'll tell you. And it's all part of why he loves me.
