 If you're married or have a life partner, be grateful for having someone in that foxhole with you when you need them.

If you're single/divorced/widowed, ESPECIALLY if you're over a certain age, be grateful for the badass strength you have developed from dealing with it all on your own. Let's hear it for the middle-aged and above women who have massive strength because of this.

Men, you're badass too, but nothing is more badass than an older woman who faces greater odds on her own 😉

I don't want to diminish men at all, but if you want something handled, ask a mature woman to do it.  We may have been brought up before or during the feminist movement, but life teaches us to stand strong and take care of things in ways we never imagined.  Our skills become formidable.
