Through the years, women’s rights have evolved more and more. Beginning with education and setting a milestone with the right to vote, progressing more and more toward a position to run this great country of ours.
In the mean time, independent women live amongst us every day. Many as doctors, lawyers, teachers, politicians, and even…. exotic dancers. Some as officers in Fortune 500 companies, others as lead construction workers. Regardless of profession, these women all excel at what they do and surpass what most of our ancestors could have ever imagined.

I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T do you know what that means?
She don’t need a got-dang thang.
I went with self support because I think that encompasses financial independence along with other aspects of independence.
All that being said, I am sick of lifting and putting the toilet seat down. If you’re independent enough to pay for yourself, you’re independent enough use the damn toilet seat.
Wow.LOL
She needs to be handle herself the same way she expects me to handle myself. Sound judgment in all facets of life (especially emotions and finance).
I can appreciate an independent woman because that means that she is in charge of her life with goals and a positive drive.
In my opinion, independence for a woman begins and ends with self-love. Self-love meaning accepting and loving herself for who she is (the good and the bad) so that she doesn’t find herself desperate enough to look for love in all the wrong places. Financial independence and self support are necessities so they don’t define independence. Any woman who says that she doesn’t need a man is either lying or likes women. But a woman who has self-love is simply waiting for the right one.
I just have to say that quite a few men shun independent women because they equate independence to the neck-poppin’ sister singing the “I don’t need a man” anthem which is usually a show put on for her clique’ which really screams “I am really insecure and need attention!”. Seldomly do these men equate independence to a self-assured woman who knows what she wants and exhibits the necessary drive to go after it.
I believe you can have self-love and not be independent.
But on to the “neck-poppin’ I don’t need a man” women, while they may be independent and self assured they are obviously egotistical maniacs (EM) and any man who acts likewise is an EM too. If you have to flaunt your independence in such a manner you’re probably independent (alone) for a reason.
The most valuable asset of an independent woman, in my opinion, is her ability to set goals and achieve them.
Independent does not mean that she is any less of a lady, or needs a man any less. It just means that while single, she is doing da dayum thing! (Which she’ll continue when not single).
Relationships include two people, and both being independent and self-sufficient means that down the line the couple can achieve more.
Team work makes the dream work!
I agree with both Derrick’s and Javonne’s view of an independent woman. As women, we expect men to bring certain things to the table and they should be able to expect the same from us. If you are self sufficient and are able to take care of yourself and set and pursue goals, just imagine what force you and your mate on an equal level could be together.
Emcee, independence is a way of life and shouldn’t be considered to be a bad word. Whether it be a man or woman. I think men who see independence in that way are afraid or intimidated and either are or should be alone.
