at this point, he is really very sad, and yes.... compensating hard ass, for atonement. hence, the women in his life's understanding of the why.

our ability and need to create boundary.

i hear ya.

this is not really for me and my family. we women, as i have said, have been doing this for decades, and we will continue. priorities set.

that is cool. we can do it. but, the story was more for others to understand the constant role playing being demanded of us. and our ever growing voice saying no. creating a lot of anger in our men.

my mother died about two decades ago. that was when this job was handed to me.

we all know it well,

my oldest brother and my father on the other hand are reconciling that .... their role of protector and white knight/john wayne is going to the wayside as the women in our two generations are strong, smart, responsible and the go to.

they too, are adjusting their views, and their role that they played.

i am using my personal experience, to discuss feminists ideas and thoughts.
