Oh I like that quote - spot on.

I am mostly very yielding..

I think this is actually a trait of many women in general. I think it is the result of living in a patriarchal society, dealing with men under their rules. I often complain to myself that I allow my friend to 'push' me around, ie I follow her ideas even though I don't quite agree. She is actually quite manipulative in how she goes about getting her idea to win the day. I've told her this sometimes, when I've got quite fed up with it and she smiles and then we laugh. I think this behaviour is another consequence of living in a 'man's' world. We women, frequently, have to resort to manipulative methods to get our way in dealing with the men in our lives, who look condescendingly at us as though we could not possibly know.

We are all of us, works in progress. We hopefully change and grow as we age, making big and little mistakes along the way and hopefully finding one or two true friends to stay the journey with us. :D

Don't like rasberries that much so you're safe there. Mulberries on the other hand - hmmm.
