Chick Like Me

I was watching Boy Meets World tonight. It was the episode where they are studying the book Black Like Me and get the idea to make Shawn into "Veronica" and see how life is as a girl. While it definitely has the 90s cheese, it does show how girls are treated as pieces of meat sometimes. In this video, Eric also shows his coworker how to make men less intimidated by her. I think this speaks volumes. They pointed out how if a girl shows she is strong, independent, and has masculine hobbies, men won't like her. I find this interesting because I have a pretty masculine best friend. She loves hockey, shooting guns, and burping louder than any man. Some men are completely thrown off by her, but some are totally drawn in. I wonder, to what extent do men like independent women?
