Lol, I don't think that is the most appropriate analogy, but for this discussion's sake, it wouldn't really apply anyways because ...
1. I am not currently living in the United States, nor am I working in the United States.
2. I am not
from the United States.
3. I am biracial, and have lived in many different parts of the world.
So my values were shaped by experiences that are much more larger than social issues in America.
And I didn't put a blanket definition over what a "modern woman" is, you did. I simply stated that if a woman dislikes gender roles, insisting that a man should propose BECAUSE of a gender role is pretty spurious and foolish. That is all. Race was never bought up until you replied.
Hope that clears it up for you. Unless you were trolling or trying to bait some sort of an antagonistic response outta me ... if so then
