Baggage can be very interesting and entertaining, as well. But I think
you are referring to major unsolved emotional problems which affects
any and all relationships. I read several works by feminists back in
the '70's and thought them pretty much sour grapes but by then I was
married and somewhat indifferent since life had a different rhythm.//I
am treated well when I am out and about- doors opened, bags carried,
etc. but then, I am a gracious creature! :-) Yesterday, I received a
lovely thank you note from the young man next door for my graduation
gift and I sighed with relief- that a young man took the time to
actually write a note and the other memories he included. All is not
lost!
