Re:
As you may have noted, this is not a "standard"--it says clearly "an admirable goal is fostering individualism among women." Yes, 50% are basic necessities of "normal" life, but how many women lack even some (or most) of these due to their circumstances, mind-set, media influence, etc? This list is simply a healthy comparison to the unhealthy list posted previously (which is the "yardstick" women are judged by in Western society) rather than an exhaustive to-do checklist.

I would say 50% of the things on the list are basic necessities of a somewhat regular normal life. For the rest why is this standard accepted and by whom? And why does there have to be a standard. Shouldn't one find one's own level of contentment, success and happiness? I think individuality should be every woman's standard.

I certainly feel that women need to promote a new standard for themselves. I think guys in general need to be more realistic too.
