Biscuits,
Thinking that not having control over a steering wheel or TV remote equates a sacrifice is part of the reason I become an Olympic sprinter if the "M" word is ever brought up. Frankly I have absolutely no problem with a woman driving. Just as long as I know how to catch a cab. It isn't even a control issue, it's a life and death issue. It's not an individualized phobia but is one that is attached to the other. I like to keep my phobias together in order of importance. M, death, sanity, being forced to watch movies with the words Ya Ya in the title.
When it comes to a woman being in control of the TV remote, again I have absolutely no problem with that at all. I have two TV's.
As far as the sanity goes, I'm enjoying mine and it is becoming that much more apparent since I gave up dating. Xena likes to pop in at this point and call me a woman hater. That is far from the truth. I like women a lot, especially when they are content and happily M'ed to another guy. They are my buddies and they cook really good stuff when I come over. I even rinse the dish I use and put my glass away. I've even been known to do the dishes. It's only fare.
I see you popping up in the political threads and challenging Viet Nam vets and people who are currently in the military. Keep going, I think you'll have them convinced on your way of thinking in no time. When your done, we have a few born again's that would probably love hear your take on their lord and slave master.
Smart women crack me up. (place stupid little winking icon here).
OK, I've given you about five things to rip me on. Do your best and keep in mind, Dave don't care. If you have any trouble, PM Xena, she's a master at trying to put me in my place. I just love that woman.
Take care,
Dave
PS: Keep in mind what I told you about my inability to be serious about anything. Being M'ed before does that to a guy, I look at it as a gift.
