SUPPORT YOUR FEMALE BROTHERS.........

Oh Ralph, I think you have opened your self up to a lot there. There are more ways we are different then just innies and outties although I will stop there. 

I'm guessing that this will evolve into an interesting discussion.  Personally I trend more toward what Kim said.  Boys and girls are both human beings with all the quirks and glitches but that's where it ends.  We're as different as night and day.  But that being said we can't do without each other for various reasons.

Having "read between the lines" I fully appreciate and endorse the point you were going for. Now a few extra points.  I get the idea of the the use of the word "brother" here, but the truth is that one part of the problem is, in and of it's self, language.  Can you think of a male counter part word that has the same venom as the word "b**ch, how about the famous Rush word, "sl*t."  And that colored paste they are supposed to put on their face isn't called "make up" for nothing.  We're supposed to "make up" for not being men.  Our God is the Father, and the Son.  The "mother" damn well had to be a virgin.  On and on.

Thanks for your thoughts and sentiment. Please keep it up and keep believing we can over come.

As the father of four daughters, gender equality is an important issue for me. Let's take down that glass ceiling!

Your heart is definitely in the right place - I wish more men in certain parts of the world could feel even a little bit more kindly toward women.

Hi Ralph - I'm going to forego the easy humor and the minor quibbles and agree wholeheartedly with the thought behind your post - we're all people, life is a struggle, and we need to help and support each other with respect, empathy and good sense. Gender is only one of may stupid ways we can build walls between us and obscure what's really important.

Thank you!! Very nice post....not even sure why this is controversial.

I love being a woman!! I love the power I have. I never have to do anything I don't want to do.

• I'm not expected to work...but if I want to, I can.
• I am not required to have kids or stay home with them if I do....but I can if I want to (and I don't even need a husband for this anymore...and of course if I'm pregnant and don't want to be, I don't need a man's permission to end that either).
• I never even have to pay for my own drinks (oh come on, we know this is true)
• I can wear make-up (and do) because I like to
• I can join the men on the front line.....or not

The point is....women's lib gave me the option to be a stay-at-home mom and wife.....or not. My husband does not have these options. Don't tell me that there isn't a stigma for a stay-at-home-dad. And you men better not act all "male" anymore...we won't take it.

Well....I will

Today? I worked. I worked out. I went to the market. I cooked brunch. I picked up my husband's dry-cleaning. I LOVE DAYS LIKE THIS!!! Because I'm a woman. W-O-MAN!!! :)

Thanks Ralph....hope this wasn't a blog in itself

Interesting topic for a post. Can't help wondering if you're up for the husband of the year award? Good luck with that (lol).

Oh I have fallen in love.  A suggest for sure.
