> >if someone introduced me first as 'so-and-so's girlfriend' and then my name, I would be livid. But if someone would say this is 'my name', 'so and so's girlfriend' it wouldnt offend me as much. I always thought it was a feminist behavior, to not appear to be owned by a man.

> Do you think so?I've taken every class on women's history, and sociology of women. Yes I do think there was/is a trend, one for the better. And I think women are still 'fighting' for rights. Growing up in a domestically violent home, I highly support the movement, and want to see change in society in day to day life. If you watch television...all the cleaning products are aimed at women. I could go on and on.
I live in a suburb where most of the women are housewives and go shopping at the shopping malls made especially for them. And just 2 blocks away there is a minority lower class neighborhood...and those people work for the people who live in suburbia. And maybe I tend to get too angry.
Once I dated a man (boy) who had traditional idiealism about women in the home, just to prove him wrong.
Manipulative. Good experiment though.
