At the same time it seems that forums that give vent to that (Hello, Dr. Helen!) often turn to misogyny. (I think, Darcy, you and I have corresponded about that somewhere.)<BR/><BR/>I think the whole thing only works when we defend each other, men for women, women for men.<BR/><BR/>The three of you give me hope for the world at a fundamental level.blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05430444326700437630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268985416439660021.post-85658018137862749242009-04-06T02:40:00.000-07:002009-04-06T02:40:00.000-07:00So nicely put.

We're clear-eyed about the work that needs to be done, and how you do a lot of the hardest and least glamorous of it. Treasuring you is both a great joy and fulfillment of our masculinity.</I><BR/><BR/>These are really gratifying words. Especially for a (mostly) stay-at-home-mom to hear. <BR/><BR/>But I think "men's work" and fathers in general are more undervalued at this point in time. There are some who are pretty blatantly trying to systematically eliminate your role in raising kids.<BR/><BR/>So, anyway... we appreciate you guys too!
