      But I had very much internalized the whole submissive wife thing, so I just thought - I'll have to marry someone who's even MORE leaderly than me! Someone who's even MORE strong-willed and confident than me!

      Of course, now that sounds like a disaster of a marriage waiting to happen. But at the time, I knew that I'd have to deeply respect a man. Otherwise... submission? From me? That would be impossible.

      There was a certain kind of guy I was drawn to at that time. He was usually: - quiet, even aloof - suuuper masculine, but in a polished, old-timey, wears-bowties-and-fedoras way - probably outdoorsy - wears leather jackets - HAS A MOTORCYCLE? 🙏🏻 - intellectual - natural leader

      But then, the strangest thing happened. After I dropped the whole garbage idea of gender roles, realized I was bisexual, and became a feminist, the kinds of people I was attracted to... actually... CHANGED??

      Suddenly I realized, the motorcycle-and-bowtie guy wasn't my type at all. The kinds of guys I was attracted to were: - emotionally intelligent - compassionate - soft, gentle - (yes, still intellectual) - even physically smaller?? - not initiators or super leaderly?? What?

      It weirded me out, but it couldn't be denied. This NEW attraction to guys was far stronger than it ever had been before. And NOW. Like, JUST NOW, tonight, I figured out what was really going on.

      That first "type" I was drawn to was not a sexual or romantic attraction. It was me. All those things were ME. Who I wanted to be. How I wanted to dress. The kind of role I wanted in a relationship.

      I didn't want to date a guy with a motorcycle. I'd like to ride one MYSELF someday!! I didn't want to marry someone who dressed a certain way. That was MY style!! I could dress that way, even though I was a woman!

      I didn't want to be with someone who had lots of outdoorsy skills, who had the wind in his hair and the dirt under his nails. That's how I wanted to live!! That was me - the true me that was being suppressed by all those garbage gender roles.

          Hehehehe all I'm missing is the motorcycle! 😜 Yeah, and it motivates me to help others discover and live their best lives, too. Although I still don't completely know how to do that. I think stories help. They sure helped me. 😊💕
