I believe...no, I know I am one of those women. I have had to hold down the fort while my husband was away for a year. And that's with all my health problems to boot. Not only did we survive, but I hold down the fort so well even while he's here that he comes home from work and is able to relax until he goes back. I had an appendectomy a week ago and my house is still spotless because frankly I'll be damned before my family has to live in a mess when it's my job to make sure it's a comfortable environment. I can shoot a gun, I got a sig sauer 9mm for my 1st wedding anniversary, but I'd be more than willing to take a person's life with my bare teeth if they threaten me or my family.
I also know how to sew. I use it best to make my little bald chihuahua some warm clothes but I suppose I could make some human clothes if needed. I am not even 30 years old so I'm also not one of the older generations...I just happened to be raised well by one of the older generations.
