Some women are good drivers. See men drive. Drive men, drive. Woman can drive. Drive women, drive. Okay, that's how it sounds to these particular ears when the competence of females in general is denigrated. That isn't my definition of Taken In Hand (though I will try very hard to respect you if it's yours). It just seems silly. Some people don't want to drive. Doesn't mean they couldn't, just means they don’t' want to. Perhaps that fits well in the relationships of some Taken In Hand couples. I just conceded to a firm request from my husband not to do an activity which I would very much like to try. After listening to his reasons and finding them sound, I decided I'd allow him to guide me, and I'd willingly follow. He didn't have to insult me. We respectfully made our feelings known to one another. He appreciates that I bend to his will on important things. I appreciate that he cares. If driving had been the activity in question, his judgment would take a back seat to mine. I drive. Not even my big strong man can take away my right to do so. In England, the public transportation system is far more comprehensive than here in the US. It's easier not to drive when trains and busses are everywhere and affordable. Here in the US, especially remote locales such as the sprawling ranch land I call home, it's almost essential that everyone who's able knows how to drive. Cultural differences create scenarios that may seem totally foreign and subsequently unacceptable. I think I’m beginning to lose the plot here. What I really want to say is that there are some really terrific differences between the two sexes that can make for some memorable exchanges. I just think we all stand a far better chance of engaging in some of those delightful encounters if we focus on the positive nature of our differences, rather than trying to insult one another. I guess I get the feeling that when a person attempts to raise themselves up by stepping on someone else, both parties lose. Subject: Re: Question for the group... how often?

Since I've had affirmative responses in the group and by e-mail for offering (explicit) details, here goes.
