My uncle told me, โWomen today are too independent, Men don't feel needed anymoreโ I asked him, โWhy does a woman being capable of taking care of herself make you feel less like a man?โ He said, โBecause men are supposed to provideโ I asked, โThen what happens when she can provide for herself?โ He said, โShe'll stop respecting himโ I looked at him and said, โOr maybe sheโll finally have the freedom to respect a man because she genuinely admires him, not because she depends on himโ He went quiet. I wasn't trying to win the argument. I just wanted him to hear how strange that sounds when you say it out loud.
