I don't even see this as a feminist issue...substitute the word person for the word women, above, and it makes all kinds of sense for any relationship (for young men with their moms/dads or others, etc...about any relationship).

Oh, I so agree. I had a similar conversation with a male graduate student the other day that I thought was giving in to 'weakness' and not living up to his potential.
Loving another person, whether a partner, parent, sibling, etc. means wanting to work to help both people be strong.

I've waited to weigh in. Some of the advice I see suggest seems to be more than "righteous push back" but rather "mean push back". I love what Triskeliongirl said here Originally Posted by Triskeliongirl

I think push back offered in love makes a relationship stronger. One can be strong, decisive, and free without being mean...If you don't grow where you're planted, you'll never BLOOM - Will Rogers

I forgot to credit them. You can get your very own pair of cycling oven mitts as "Etsy.com" Originally Posted by zencentury

wow, i wonder if that poor gal has come back to read all these posts.
I am seeing a lot of wisdom here; but I wonder if they are ready to hear the truth.
