The Hen House

[Lifes Twists]

I will say that I feel it is a good thing to have these conversations between members of one gender where the other has the opportunity to read and get a better perspective of how the other perceives things and responds. As a man, I was insulted by how the man cave was started and how the originator continued to thump his chest and label and belittle those who disagreed with him.

On the subject of emasculating men. Society tends to force gender specific roles whether we want it too or not. Men are raised to to support their families. So they tend to identify themselves with work. Women are raised to have babies and take care of them. So they identify themselves more with their children and families. So when a man is unable to provide he gets lost and has nothing anchoring him till he finds a new means to support his family. I don't know if its the woman or society that emasculates the man, it just happens.
