I'm mostly speechless. This is a beautiful post, because of the clarity of vision in writing it. I am sorry for the men who are struggling with changes in society from what they were encouraged to become in their formative years. I'm sorry they've been lied to about basic instinct. Evolving and progressing is important, and all of us, every one, has had to deal with change, and learned through others expectations no matter how misguided they were. I guess I'm not that speechless, eh? Thank you again for yet another very important read!
As a married dude, the wonderful strength and abilities of women is readily apparent, as long as the observer is not steeped in the toxic masculinity/alpha male bullshit that insecure conservative men celebrate. Hopefully when Kamala is president at least some of these pathetic creeps will take notice of how much more able she is than their idiot idol.
Thank you for reading. Imagine a world where this message got its fair representation? I expect we'll be taking a step in the right direction in a few days :)
What a beautiful analogy to show the different approaches men and women take. One is not "better" than the other, only different. We were made to compliment each other, and having been married for 44 years, I've learned that when we both work toward a goal with this in mind, we achieve a beautiful outcome.
Here's to hoping that enough of us are willing to "take a chance" on letting a women's perspective lead America!
Thanks, Walter! Only a foolish person keeps doing the same things over and over when they produce the same result. We need a decisive change from the normal. We have ever had a President who is female. Let’s try that because the alternative would be the same as always!
We have 4 of those 100+ pound dogs, and it’s only recently that I’ve come to understand why they are so important to my wife, and it’s for the same reason as yours. So I know what you mean.
A man saying this is…..magnificent, and yet it should be ordinary, mundane, daaa. I congratulate you. Women aren’t perfect, far from it. But men really can be a lot better than they are. You get it.
Your warmth in expressing your feelings and thoughts about women are truly definitive in your love and admiration for your wife. I truly applaud your sincere and open mindedness with today's women. Your girls are very lucky to have such an empathetic and loving father who will always support them in any situation. A father who will protect the rights of his family and those around him.
Those are the genuine qualities of a caring human being.
Why is it always a contest among the sexes as to our intelligence, creativity, adaptability and overall qualities of ourselves?
In these last decades, more women have taken on successful leadership roles in business, government, science and health care, which perhaps has caused the rift among young men.
My premise is that young men are frightened by the rise of a woman's power. Yet, doesn't this current scenario create an environment of diverse interactions amongst ourselves? In my opinion, men are becoming increasingly disturbed by these societal changes, which are advanced by a minority of radical minded men within the current political arena. The far-right MAGA groups consist of extremist views, which place the male in the hierarchical position of resetting societal norms. These norms also encompass the 'Christian nationalists' views of our country as a Christian nation, which triggers fear of another's beliefs and mindsets. Aren't we a nation built upon the rights of individual freedom, equality and pursuit of happiness?
Well, let's get together in these final days to make Kamala Harris our first woman president for all people.
Our great nation of multi-generational immigrants and Native Americans deserve to be treated with respect and equality for all. We must continue to protect our freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances, as well as the freedom of religion. Our personal freedoms are at stake in this election, please don't take it for granted. Every vote counts!

Truth! Great love letter to your wife and women. Vote
Thank you for this. It was a heart warming read.

I agree completely. Fingers crossed for Tuesday.

I couldn’t love this more! (and I’m a cat lady, lol!). Now talk to my 27 year old son. ;) Wonderful revelations.

We could clone you.
Big dog.
Major protection.
Good boy!
Wow. Just….wow!
