Ugh, I can totally relate. I come from a very conservative family, and they believe strongly in traditional gender roles. Luckily, my mom was the wild child in the bunch and has always encouraged me to do whatever I want.
I have a graduation coming up, and I'm trying to talk my family into getting me a miter saw as a present. My mom and I were recently at the hardware store, and I was showing her the one I wanted, and some guy there said I was wasting my time, that I should be looking for a husband instead!
Um, thanks but no thanks. I've built fences, barns, and kitchen cabinets. I know my tools, and I don't need a man to own them for me.
