If I'm with a man is that going to prevent me from achieving my goal? What sacrifices will I have to make in terms of being myself if I'm with a man? Something that young women find out really quickly is that when you start dating all of a sudden you're supposed to have a role. You're not allowed to just be yourself.
Things that I felt absolutely sure of but a few years ago I do not believe now. This thought makes me see more clearly how foolish it would be to expect all men to agree with me.
