All you need is a good man

How breathtakingly sensible ps I couldn't agree more. As an adult, I have never been dependent on another person to provide for me, male or female. I have never believed in stereotyping and am happy to pitch in, whatever needs doing. I am more than happy to accept that there are things which a male can do better than me - equally there are things I can do better than my partner. I really don't understand either the feminist or alpha male perspective, what you describe as unadulterated drivel, either. We're all people with often complimentary strengths. Get over it and get on with it and stop whingeing .

Galen - he is a captain on the Interislander, the huge ferry that connects North and South Islands. He gave up deep sea trips when he met my daughter!

Respect to your son in law Greatnan that's a horrible stretch of water.
