ORIGINAL: Spiritedsub2 ~fast reply~ The notion that androgeny kills passion resonates for me. I may well be very unevolved, but whenever I see a man pushing a baby stroller, I have an instinctive reaction unfavorably judging his masculinity. I see it all the time because I spend time in parks every day with my dogs, and I have this reaction so strongly I've come to notice it. I thought of it immediately when I read the linked article in the OP. I work in the "divorce industry" (how's that for a euphemism), and I have seen consistent evidence that egalitarian relationships often devolve into sexless partnerships, with one or both eventually seeking passion outside, then ending up in divorce court. Sorry you feel that way. I pushed my daughters up and down the street, in parks, malls, you name it. My own opinion, if a Dad loves his kids, he'll want to do things like that. My daughters will be 3 in March (they are twins) and I'm damned man enough to admit I attend "coffee fiestas" (I drink coffee, girls don't know what hot tea is really, and they like the word "fiesta") with stuffed animal dignitaries, let them put their "pretties" (fake jewelry) on me and brush my hair while saying "pretty Daddy". I don't give no fuck about some "masculine image" when I'm spending time with my girls. Sorry, touchy subject for me.
