Have our changed views of women seem to have occurred at the expense of how we perceive manhood?
Up with Masculinity
I feel blessed to be a woman in our post 60’s culture, where femininity and female strength, independence and success are touted. Unfortunately, however, our changed views of women seem to have occurred at the expense of how we perceive manhood. In short I believe that we’ve lost a real appreciation for men being men.
We women want our men to be breadwinners and rescuers (help us when the car breaks down or the sink sprouts a leak). We want our men to be strong, both emotionally and physically.

I got an email forward last week from a college buddy who hardly ever forwards anything; I knew this one was going to be good. I found 10 jpeg files. The first file showed a photo of a sexy man holding a bag of garbage, with the caption, “As long as I have legs to walk on, you’ll never have to take out the garbage.” The next one showed the same man behind the wheel of a car. The caption read, “Hold that thought a second. I want to pull over and ask for directions.” I didn’t stop clicking. The next file was a photo of a man vacuuming.
How co-parenting and an equal marriage gave me the guilt-free space to be a huge sports fan.
While I might seem the perfect candidate to be that sports guy... that obsessed fan who almost ruins a marriage... I'm not. Why the domestic tranquility on the sports front? I have 4 good guesses.

We think we know which show to blame for this confusion: Mad Men, which is about Madison Avenue advertising men in 1960's America.
