Men are still seen in the roll of "hunter, gather" and protector of the clan. Some strong willed men are satisfied with *Barbi* as a mate, assuming that they can be content in a relationship with no intellectual stimulation. A strong willed woman on the other hand can not be content with *Ken* as a mate. Ken is, after all, a eunuch. Moreover Ken is incapable of indepentent thought. We've all disucssed the libel anti gun supporters as sheeple happy to allow the media and political powers to do their thinking with no desire to educate or inform themselves on issues.
CR I know these post are not aiding your stand with Michelle but I'm afraid the particular pro/anti RKBA relationship you're asking about is rare.
However would she be happy with you if you adopted the steriotypical roll of passivist content with allowing your govenment to systematicaly erode your (and her) rights without a struggle? When she met and subsequently fell in love with you she obviuosly knew you were very pro RKBA. More importantly she had to recognize the fact that you are a very strong willed, out spoken person passionate about the injustices that you see occurring around you. I understand, I think, that her concerns about your current attitude are without malice and simply due to concern for your well being. But can she not see that to deny you your strong out spoken stance would be to quell the very person you are? To do so would equate to removing the teeth of a well disiplined attack dog. The dog would not be happy and I dare say neither would the handler. You would be miserable and I doubt she would be happy with the new persona.
I understand you are going through a difficult period. But to change your attitudes would destroy possibly the very parts of your psychological make up that make you the Rat she knows and loves. She would not want *Ken* any more then you'd ever be capable of being him.
I'm sorry but if you some how could make the desired(?) changes I don't think she'd be happy with the "new" you.

We live in a time in which attitudes and deeds once respected as courageous and honorable are now scorned as being antiquated and subversive.
