So I wonder how your ex wife would respond if I told her she should be more like a good woman and keep her mouth closed and be a little more submissive and ladylike. I would imagine that ridiculous sterotype of a woman wouldn't fly with her....nor should her stupidtabulous characterization of a man.
I have been in a very conservative field for the last 25 years, yet I have some piercings and lots of big tattoos. My friends tell me that although my outer appearance is very feminine, I often think and act like a dude ( whatever the eff that means)...people just can't seem to reconcile what they see as opposing traits. But you know, that's their problem, not mine.
