I tread very very lightly in this territory... but I have found that my wife feels personally degraded by the way women represent themselves at times. (Most of the time.)

This includes they way they drive (or fail to), and the vehicles they insist of operating as a matter of "safety" and "necessity".

She actually understood when I told her I wanted to get rid of Cara and buy a bike... she knew right away that I wasn't comfortable toting along 3500 lbs when I could just as easily be riding on ~700... and getting double or more the mileage.

And now, (off topic warning) - I'm checking around for cloth diapers. She figured out how much money we're going to spend on disposables, and she doesn't like it. These things were the farthest from her mind before she met me... LOL.

See? They CAN change!
