We're in the Appalachian foothills and have the same protectiveness about our men too. I reside on the state line by Wheeling, WV.

Southern gentlemen are rare. They are strong and chivalrous. They cultivate the drawl as well as we do. And yet, the poor dears would be lost without us strong Southern women pushing and supporting them! A friend of mine up North said I, as a woman friend, am more supportive and encouraging of him than his girlfriend. I push him to achieve his goals, and offer support, no matter his decisions. He thinks it's a Southern thing. After reading this post and reflecting, I'm likely to agree with him. I see where Southern women are a bit territorial over their men. Southern gentlemen are rare.

Oh, and passion can end on both sides and both sides can get jealous. I just don't believe a man would hire a male hooker to find out what his wife wants. Women can be so much smarter about these things if they can keep a level head.

Traditionally, we may have treated marriage more gravely than our sisters in the rest of America. This, due in part to deep-rooted cultural tradition and religious influence. However, I take umbrage at the the fawning, yet psycho-esque, stereotype of the Southern woman. That really is an old-guard mentality, certainly it was my grandmother (minus the jealousy), to a MUCH lesser degree, my mother, and what you are left with is the current generation of hell-on-wheels southern women who live on their own terms, and have graduated to the modern world. That being said, I need to find that little silk scarf I picked up in Amsterdam and haven't worn in 3 years. Thanks for reminding me!

How we can take our childhood beliefs and incorporate them with the knowledge we learn from living life. I'm so gonna have to see that film... That’s what I like about growing up.
