  2. Are you upset or threatened about threads that look at misunderstandings between the sexes?

    Why?

  3. mmm, this is where you have an appearance that it would be easier if people dispenced with the labelling and dealt with reality. You try and parent as a team, and make adjustments for individual strengths and weakness, instead of worrying about who does better than who. At least you can strive for that, IMHO. It isn't me versus you, it's us, and really that's all there is.

  4. I agree, D. This blog has a disproportionate share of labeling and Kramer vs. Kramer going on. Wonder if this stuff comes up at home all the time.

  5. oh, it's not this blog, really, as much as what we are commenting on... it is after all, easier to generalize when you label... sometimes just not the best thing...

  6. I think the bigger picture that the anon posters seem to miss is that the culture that tells women that they can "have it all" has pimped a big old lie. Now we're seeing shocked reactions from women that are "no sh*t, Sherlock" moments for most men. So, these things are addressed here. I don't see any inherehent sexism or "Kramer vs Kramer" in pointing out the obvious. Calling something by what it is isn't "labelling".

  7. I don't get what the big deal is. I try to be a good mother, my husband tries to be a good father; together we try to be good parents. We each have our strengths and weaknesses. If we ever talked about it, we'd probably agree that that's the way it's meant to be.

  8. The little blog-blurb is nice.


    All: There's no point in talking about people who are healthy and behaving rationally. One talks about the people who are NOT healthy and NOT behaving rationally.

    What I do not understand is why so many have such a big problem with talking about the situations in which males are not treated well in the unhealthy relationships.

    Those people having such a BIG problem about talking about the male half of the equation suggests we have a bigger problem than just the unhealthy relationships: We also have a huge misandry problem.
