Yeah...yeah...I know a woman doesn't really NEED a man. Many a friend has shared that opinion with me...not to mention Ms. Steinem. So this a.m. 7-ish. He takes my car, gases it up Returns. Backs it into driveway. I emerge from back door. He carries my laptop and places in backseat. Bids me adieu, emphasizing be careful. I make it 3/4 of the way up the driveway. Slide and am stuck. I can go forward nor backward. As I'm dialing from my cell phone to ask him for help, I find him back at my driver side window. Roll down my window and tell him I'm stuck and ask him if he will get me out of it. As I step out of car, he says, "Be careful, you'll fall and grabs my elbow." I'm secure. He gets in. With ease of a gazelle backs all the way to where I had begun, drives smoothly to the dry asphalt of the road. I am awestruck. I guess for me it's the little things. I get back in car, he emphasizes, "Be careful", with a kiss on the cheek. As I drive away, I watch him walk through the dimming morning to the light of our den. Yeah...yeah...I am a strong woman, intelligent, secure....no NEED of a man, but to me, kinghts are in high demand.
It was some 40 years ago that Gloria Steinem proclaimed that “a woman needs a man like a fish needs bicycle.” It was the ultimate enunciation of radical feminism.
