i guess the word choice is a joke. But yeah, calming down someone who is upset. I think this is a skill that women should have too (and that most women are naturally better at)
That said, I'm not happy with the idea of a woman "acting out of line." It's not like it's the man's place to control her and make her act right. They're equals.

Suppose I'm a teacher. I've got ten fifth grade girls, and ten fifth grade boys.
It's well documented that girls tend to learn better and concentrate better when the thermostat is set at 71-72 degrees, while boys tend feel more comfortable at 68-69 degrees.
So I look at these kids, and it turns out to be true. 7 of the girls like it warmer, while 3 of them like it cooler. 6 of the boys like it cooler, while 4 like it warmer.
Now, you might consider these girls who like it cooler to be less "girly" than the others, and the boys who like it warmer to be going against the grain and be less masculine than the others. Fair enough right?
Okay, so next: I assign an art project. And according to studies, little girls and little boys approach this differently. Girls like hues - pastels, aquas, rich maroonish reds, purples. Boys like basic colors - blacks, greys, firetruck red, green, blue, orange. Girls show abstraction through relationships - how the different things in their picture relate to one another. Boys like to focus on single objects - "project" their identity on singular, physical objects.
So I check out what the kids drew, and the hypothesis looks right. Six of my girls drew pictures with feminine qualities, and four were more on the boyish side. Seven of my boys had boyish pictures, and 3 of them went with relationships and hues in their pictures.
Okay, so I have a few girls on the masculine side, and a few boys on the girlish side, right?
No. Because the kids who went against the grain in each of the situations are DIFFERENT KIDS. It's not like there are just a few kids who are against the grain - if you take the
endless differences between the sexes and apply them to one person, a person will go with their gender on slightly more than half of those characteristics, but not all. But if they are boxed into always acting like their gender, there will ALWAYS be situations in which that person isn't reaching his/her potential or is being alienated.
This is why we don't group all the girls together and teach them girl things and then group all the boys together and teach them boy things. There will ALWAYS be someone alienated, and it will always be different people. The only credited approach for these people to feel at home and accepted and reach their potential is always take the pluralistic approach, and too allow them to do whatever the fuck they want without dropping labels on it. You have all these rules for how women should act and how men should act, and I just can't imagine walking through life that way without inevitable being incredibly stifled or unnatural - even if you're the girliest girl on earth, there will be part of you that aren't traditionally or commonly female. But if you stay in those boxes you'll never discover them.

being able to drive a manual car is obviously critical
ability to ride a standard motorcycle is also good
your firearms skills should include basic bird-hunting skills. it's not even that tough to go to the range, buy some cheap clay targets, and practice for a while until you get comfortable leading the target, firing at the right time, etc.

i feel tempted to just list all the skills my future husband has. I can't really think of the things I had in mind before I met him, except for one thing.
He has to be able to disagree with his wife and put his foot down when it comes to parenting. From the beginning. From infancy. This is the number one "beta" behavior I see from white American men that drives me crazy. They ask their wives if they can hold their own fucking baby. They leave their sons and daughters to be raised by women, and leave ALL the major decisions to the women, and just back down when the women tell them to.
Women DO have strong motherly, protective instincts. And you have to be very aggressive if you plan to assert yourself as a parent that has equal authority. You have to do this for the good of your children.

"Yeah, men usually wait until the kids are older and they can have actual conversations where meaningful information is exchanged."
lol, keep telling yourself that.
It's definitely a white thing. Look at any white couple with their kid, at any age, on the street. And tell me which parent is obviously in charge.

Um, really?
You want to pretend Asians have more single parents than white people do?
Besides, having a man around just to earn a paycheck and not even be a member of the family is the most pathetic thing ever.

I never brought up black people at all.
I'm just talking about white people I've seen. Obv single parenthood is common with black Americans, but I haven't noticed any particular patterns with black fathers, though the ones I do know are certainly less beta.
Regardless, I'l stand by what I said abut white parents, at least with regard to white Americans. None of my European friends fit these stereotypes.

I think that happens in some families, sure. It definitely happened in mine wrt my relationship with my dad.
But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about men who back off and don't make decisions about their kids amd can't even develop a relationship with them because they let the women control everything.

"They leave their sons and daughters to be raised by women, and leave ALL the major decisions to the women, and just back down when the women tell them to."
This didn't really describe my upbringing, although my dad said this. "Mom made the decisions re: you, but I had veto power over them".
Leaving the sons/daughters to be raised by women can be considered a product of a home where the man is the breadwinner and the woman stays at home. I do think that as the kids get older the father's influence on them grows.

SALTY WALRUS'S DEFINITIVE LIST
1. understands basic handy work, can fix shit around the house..even if he is rich enough to hire out these services, he is alpha enough to fire a contractor or tell a plumper to fuck off because you know they are scamming you because you could fix it if you wanted to because a real man understands cost/work/common sense, etc
2. makes at least a decent living his wife/family is happy with....notice how I didn't say must be rich..being rich per se doesn't mean you automatically become a self respecting man..doesn't matter what you do as long as you make money and your family/life makes you happy to be honest
3. has business acumen, doesn't get ripped off, can negotiate, isn't a sucker, knows how to lead people, owns at least a suit or two and knows how to tie a tie, knows how to look professional when the occasion arises etc.
4. be in decent physical shape, decent strength
5. know how to drive a woman wild, either in the bedroom or when you are visiting her parents
6. not afraid to present and speak in front of many people, ..again confidence
7. can drive a stick
8. doesn't let anyone walk over them, stands their ground but goes about it in a classy way, takes the high road
9. doesn't obsess over trivial shit, drama, a real man doesn't care about this
10. has principles and stands by them
11. Isn't afraid to take risks, life is about risks..real man takes the right risks but is responsible about it and goes forward because they have confidence in their abilities and they know their shit.

Interesting. I would scrap 11 for women and add 2, if only because making a decent living means that a woman can put more money toward raising kids, and the more a woman makes before kids, the more she can afford to quit work and raise them.
I would also add 9 since so many girls do this it's annoying.

I disagree on 11, here is why
A woman needs to understand that life is about risks and that security is an illusion. There is never a for sure thing..I see women make this mistake all the time when they choose partners, husbands, etc. Lmao if you are getting married that is a huge life changing risk, having a baby..again huge life changing risk. You gotta hope that things work out!
In summary a woman has to separate reality, what is a risk and what isn't etc. vs. their dreams/fantasies
People don't approach marriage for instance as a risk anymore, which is sad, it's nope he/she has to have a, b,c d or nothing else..etc lol sad really.. I think if they did, people would make better family/life decisions than they are now...how many washed up divorced 40 year olds are there out there /w nothing living their whole lives under the *illusion* of a dream life, husband, family, etc. Everything can go belly up. Once you understand just the level of risk in everything, you understand life more and you make better, wiser decisions. Women I find have more trouble with understand this than men because..I dunno call it the princess effect or something..
As far as 2 is concerned...well you are right, but I left it out though because I find unique to women, they have a much bigger chance in life to choose to not work vs. work... so they have more options..2 is only important if they do chose to work vs being a homebody..but you are right though
yeah well I thought about adding 9 but then I laughed to myself, oh man I'm dreaming on asking for that one. I just let the girls do their own thing as far as 9 is concerned..only effects other girls anyways lol. Besides, it's secretly entertaining to me.

OK I see your point and I definitely agree. I was just thinking of it from a business perspective.
I also might add 6 (public speaking). Maybe that's a sentimental one since so many women I know are bad at public speaking. It's so important for many careers that are female-dominated (like teaching), and I think it's crucial for a woman to be comfortable expressing herself and her opinions in front of others (I also think it's important to know when to open your mouth and when to keep it shut, but that's a different point).
So many women in law school would apologize before they said something, as if they were sorry for expressing an opinion or even speaking. A professor called me out on this and that's why it stuck with me.

Maybe that's what it is. I apologize before speaking in a group and sometimes if someone interrupts ME, I apologize to them as a reflex if I continue speaking!
You're probably right that while 6 is important for women that it's more important for men, since women have much more of an option to opt out of the workforce. I don't really know how positive a message that sends though - I figured I'd be working for 2 years and then would be married to my LS boyfriend so I figured I wouldn't really need to care about my job. Now look at me 6 years later, doing OK in biglaw and no ring.
So women might need to cultivate those career skills if they don't get a ring when they expect, or if their husband gets laid off, or if they fall in love with someone who doesn't earn that much, or if they get divorced and have to get back to work.
Back to your point about risk taking, if I took the risk of not caring so much about my career skills I could be in a much worse position right now, financially speaking, as a single female. I don't want my daughter putting career on the back burner and assuming that she'll be marriage-track by 25 and wed by 27.
It's complicated.

yeah well I think you make good points and all of them really tie back to 11, plus you always have to weigh in what you *really* want in life, how to balance happiness vs. work, etc.
I feel like americans really have no clue about risks because life has been so awesome for the boomers and they brought that mentality into our generation..I mean just look at the shit people post on xoxo or what you hear on the news...it's like we all just 'expect' everything now without concerning the facts, risks, etc., but you're smart and you know what I'm talking about.
Lol I was raised with the immigrant mentality, hope for the best but ALWAYS plan for the worst because you aren't entitled to shit.
