Now I'm no feminist...

...but after reading a forward I received yesterday (see below) I thought... "Hmmm... yeah, I agree with most of what it says but I object to something in there..."

I read it again and hit the jackpot when I read the words "submissive" and "helpmate". I dunno, but maybe its me reading too much into it but I aint no helpmate to noone. Unless he's a helpmate to me cos you know, it goes both ways. I also don't believe God made women to be subservient to men. We're all equal... now if only those effing men would wake up and smell the roses! So yeah, I'm a helpmate if he's a helpmate too! lol. I'll be submissive if he wears those handcuffs and let me use the whip on him! HAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAA!

And talking of helpmates, my friend told me yesterday, out of the blue that she reckons I'll be one of those women who'll find someone overnight, and have 5 kids soon after. Imagine that... but if he's gonna make me pop out 5 babies, then he better be poppin ready to take care of them cos I'll be too far gone to do that! hahaha...

All righty, I'm outta here!



In a brief conversation, a man asked a woman he was pursuing the question....

"What kind of man are you looking for?"

She sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye and asking.

"Do you really want to know?"

Reluctantly, he said, "Yes."

She began to expound... As a woman in this day and age, I am in a position to ask a man what he can do for me that I can't do for myself. I pay my own bills. I take care of my household without the help of any man. I am in the position to ask, "What can you bring to the table?"

The man looked at her. Clearly he thought that she was referring to money.


She quickly corrected his thought and stated, "I am not referring to money. I need something more." I need a man who is striving for perfection in every aspect of life." He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, and asked her to explain.

She said, "I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection mentally because I need conversation and mental stimulation. I don't need a simple-minded man." I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection spiritually because I don't need to be unequally yoked... believers mixed with unbelievers is a recipe for disaster. I need a man who is striving for perfection financially because I don't need a financial burden. I am looking for someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, but strong enough to keep me grounded. I am looking for someone who I can respect. In order to be submissive, I must respect him. I cannot be submissive to a man who isn't taking care of his business. I have no problem being submissive...he just has to be worthy. God made woman to be a helpmate for man. I can't help a man if he can't help himself." When she finished her spill, she looked at him. He sat there with a puzzled look on his face.

He said, "You're asking a lot."

She replied, "I'm worth a lot."

Send this to every woman who's worth a lot and every man who needs to know that.
