I think it's something to be proud of... it's so much better for you and you know, it's probably partly what is getting you through all of this in one piece.  Why shouldn't you stand up for yourself and be yourself.. if a man has a problem with it, that's his problem... like you've found out.. at least you are ok *in yourself* and good on you for it.

Your sister in law sounds charming. LOL

you gotta be who you are

there's a difference between standing up for yourself and just being a pain in the ass...like my sister in law!  She thinks she's a bad ass but really she's just a pain in the ass. 

so be strong....if they dont like it, they're not worth it.

I definitely don't want a man like that, I want a man that values my opinion.

She could be right. Pioneer women and their descendent are said to have strong will-power, very independent and a high degree of 'survival of the fittest'.

Missed you for a while there. Don't let strenght or attitude get in the way of your happiness. Live with poise and inner focus, even daring to be humble. There are predators fishing for those who seek love, with  'pseudo-sophistication, charm and material delights'.  Be Yourself! You my just find that there is a nice guy looking for somebody like you!

That "strong woman" thing can be a bit of a problem if a man was raised to think of a woman as a clinging vine.   But, you don't really want that kind of a man anyway.
