To the OP, thinking outside of the box, if *real* men (as husbands and fathers) and *real* women * (as wives and mothers) did as they should in caring for their children, there would be no need for governmental intervention ... No need for child support enforcement ... No need for child support audits .... No need to pawn off one's children into the care of (oftentimes ailing, elderly) grandparents or other relatives either, except under temporary extenuating circumstances. In a utopian society, nobody would be shirking their responsibilities and treating others as less than. But, none of us lives in a utopian society. Now T, to expound a bit on what you have expounded upon ... quote:
ORIGINAL: Termyn8or Men don't argue with Women for one. They start bitching and yelling we tell them to talk to the wall and I'll be outside having a smoke. I don't argue with men (people). They start bitching, yelling and throwing a hissy fit, and I tell them to talk to the hand and I'll be outside having a smoke. quote:
ORIGINAL: Termyn8or Men rarely raise their voice. There are alot of things involved and none of them involve physical strength or penis size. And Men also realize that Women are emotional creatures and need to be taken care of emotionally. A *real* man has no need to raise his voice or to lose control of himself in order to get his point across. A *real* man also knows that when a woman expresses emotion, she needs to have her feelings validated by being heard out, because females tend to be more verbally expressive than males are generally. quote:
ORIGINAL: Termyn8or On the other hand a Man can set his emotions aside and act rationally under bad conditions. Agreed. An emotionally mature adult can set his or her emotions aside and act rationally under bad/adverse conditions. They must, in order to be effective in caring for themselves and for others who depend upon them, as their protector instead of routinely needing to be protected by others. quote:
ORIGINAL: Termyn8or We have lots of big boys but few Men. I am not even saying I am a Man. I think there is a spectrum between the two, and I am somewhere in between. I think so are most. I see this in a couple of ways. We have lots of overgrown adults who are immature, still going through life using their parents as safety nets (or still sponging off of their folks, gf/bf, spouses, best buddies, etc.). No offense intended to DD/lg kinks, but there are women who want to waltz through life being Daddy's Little Princess, rather than knowing how to act like a lady and/or taking care of their family and contributing to their communities. We have lots of Mama's boys who want women to cater to their needs without the slightest regard for what the woman wants, much less keeping her intimacy needs met. I am part American Indian. (Native American, to those of you who have an issue with semantics.) From what I have learned and heard in stories my Penobscot great-granddad used to tell me (I never knew my full-blooded grandfather on the other side of the family, who died serving in WWII.), a boy cannot become a man unless he becomes recognized by his tribe as a warrior. In that sense, I carry the spirit of my ancestors in my value and belief systems. We have a nation of unrecognized stunted warriors, boys who have not officially completed rites of passage into manhood. Boys with no clear vision of the future, who have never undergone their Dark Night of the Soul in an individual vision quest. This thing with gaming, is the closest that these men-children will ever get to experiencing initiation levels. I am exempting soldiers, since even without having been in a war zone or seeing combat, they get indoctrinated thoroughly, men and women of the Armed Forces alike. You, I do not see as a Mama's boy. I think you can safely be considered "the Man." -- Lisa P.S. I think I may have meant "inducted" rather than "indoctrinated."
