I hate to say this, being a woman and all, but not all women have the nesting instinct. There are some women out there that think it's totally the mans job to be the prepared one and have no interest in handeling anything worse than a broken nail. In all fairness though, I've known some men that couldn't change a tire. These people count on having someone around them that is prepared. I think it has more to do with how you are raised. If you're taught to rely on others then thats what you do. I was taught that you rely on yourself even in a crowd. Unless people start getting the kids away from the video games and tv once in a while, I don't see a very prepared future.
