    You do yourself a disservice. Men just generally prefer to deal with issues that don't involve emotions, not that they can't, but it gets in the way of the practical. That's partly nature and partly nurture.
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

    Misandrist. Blaming all men for higher crime rate is no better then blaming minorities. Indeed there are more male offenders and more male geniuses.

    My essay was an explanation why negative generalizations about men are acceptable in society, while negative generalizations about women are not.

    Not to butt in but that is a pretty big part of a working mans life... the switch between 'work mode' and 'family mode'. It's a daily extreme that has to be understood and quelled. Work is easy, even under the most extreme circumstances ( been there done that ) but on the drive home you gotta find a way to go from expected perfection to a completely different brain functionality based on emotion.

    Ive seen friends try to combine strictness with their family and it just doesn't work at all.. be it ex-military or just common construction workers. You gotta find a balance.

    Anyhow.. continue. Not even sure what the topic is.

    Women have the same challenges in the work force, but perhaps in reverse.

    It really is. She enjoys getting off work and diving into the lives of our daughters. She is a little girl at heart. Thats what I try to protect.

    Ehh that sounds weird on paper. Not sure anyone really knows the perfect way to raise a family but I know what this topic is about and I'm drunk. Yea.

    Anyhow, I know what you're saying and I completely agree.


    edit: I have no idea what the topic is.

    I haven't said otherwise, but there are far fewer female prisoners than males. Women are, by and large, nest makers. That means that for the most part, they are more law-abiding because criminal prosecution threatens the nest, the home and the security of the offspring. There are outliers but they are rare.
