for all of us! I love your username because my Grandpa was a lumberjack, in NW Montana. He even won the lumberjack contest in Montana once, he was the best lumberjack in Montana! I remember watching him chop wood when I was a kid and he made it look so effortless, every strike of the axe sure and splitting the wood into perfect kindling for the wood stoves they had at the farm to burn for heat. Are you a real lumberjack? My Grandpa had heart attacks when he turned 40 and then he wasn't able to do that work anymore.
All the BS just kind of made me laugh because I thought, well, I was trying to take steps to make the world better, I was trying to do what I thought was right and people just got mad at me for it. I kept thinking, well, heck, I don't know what to do.
That's another thing I think is hard on men. The roles are changing so fast, no matter what you do, some people are going to say you are doing it wrong and be mad at you. I'm thinking both men and women are getting kind of beaten up, and sometimes men beat up other men and women beat up women too over all this. Boy you should see some message boards that are just about all women, the wars we have over whether it's okay to be a stay-at-home mom or a working mom would blow your mind. I've seen guys do it a little bit too, my father (who is an alcoholic with a lot of problems and a real mean streak because of the demons he's fighting inside) used to treat my BIL with real derision because he didn't earn a lot of money. But my BIL was such a gentle man, and a wonderful father, and a proud Democrat (my father is hard right) and he could grow anything you'd want to grow because he grew up on a farm, and I always admired him and thought he was a better man than my father.
Sorry to go on and on. I have a bad habit of being too chatty sometimes.
