Some have certainly broken my heart

But I will never join the feminist movement that claims we don't need them. A stance of the the so called oppressed vs an oppressor. At the end of the day WE carry them for nine months. I hope to someday carry one for I will raise him to be integral, loyal and NEEDED by the woman he finds in his. ❤

I look at it differently, I suppose. "Not needing" only means not so desperate that one feels less than when not part of a couple. It definitely doesn’t mean I don’t love and cherish men.

I think it’s possible to not "need" men in the abstract: you’re still going to get jars opened, bills paid, bugs killed, while needing specific and special men (fathers, brothers, friends, boyfriends, husbands, sons) very much. 🙂

@bijouxbroussard Very interesting perspective. I like your brand of smarts. 🙂
