Why do we not highlight some of the *men* who have a fear of independence at this day in age? I don't think it is right to single out women, and it surely isn't an innate tendency for women to fear independence, as I, like many women, crave independence. Plenty of women know that we don't need a man, as can be seen by the number of single mothers on the rise- I am not even sure why that is a debate today.
Though we are always told that men and women are made to be worlds apart, I think that some men have a fear of independence as well, particularly now, when the age of leaving home is getting later. Let's not treat this as gender-specific. If a male depends on his mother, that would be him depending on women. Not to mention, there are most likely some husbands who depend on the wife's income.
People vary so much. Plenty of women do not fear independence. Time to address them.
