I suppose I agree with that, although I'm not sure they necessarily enjoy labels; as pbradley alluded to, it's sort of a gender-assigned mentality that has persevered through generations. I hate the women that take pride in their independence - isn't that a contradiction? If you're trying to shed gender-related roles and negative stereotypes, independence is nothing to be proud of, it's simply part of your character.
I suppose I'm biased in all of this, because I generally don't get along well with those of the female persuasion.
