You may be right that things are changing, but I don't think it's entirely different yet. Then again, I may have been raised differently than many of the girls here: my parents are Spanish, and that means that they are traditional to a degree that many British parents no longer are. In any case, my classmates' fathers seem to hold different views than my Papa on how a daughter should conduct herself.

On the other hand, I don't believe that Spanish women tend towards softness, so perhaps I have an advantage in that regard.
