I think it's more complicated than the radio show made it sound, though. There are independent women, and then there are the fiercely 'feminist' women that are rather aggressive about their self-sufficiency, and use it as a form of currency. Those women annoy me, frankly. I think independence/individuality speaks for itself, through actions and attitude, and doesn't need to be asserted to gain something or create a certain persona.
In short, I dig independence, but aggressive feminists are irritating cunts.
