I have never been the mousy, stand-two-paces-behind, obedient 'little woman' type.
No matter what the fight, don't be ladylike!
Men that aren't threatened by opinionated, faintly aggressive women are in a minority.
A woman with opinions had better develop a thick skin and a loud voice.
We needed to be assertive as women in those days - assertive and aggressive - and the degree to which we had to be that way depended on where you were. I had to be.
Strength on its own in a woman is quite abrasive and not terribly attractive all the time.
What should all men know about women? That we are always right and you should just agree.
I would argue that the uncomfortable feelings she elicits are simply the by-product of watching a woman wanting and taking like a man.
