  Gender Surrender?! HA! That was great, Mr. Brown! Couldn't agree more. I recall an American article that reported soldiers being reprimanded for writing testerone-driven, hostile remarks on bombs before they were dropped. OK, can the guy dropping the friggin' bomb be allowed to retain his pair? I'm completely opposed to war, but that's a clear illustration of the ridiculous extreme to which men are truly 'socially nutured' by the current era.

  I think it is cool, about men reaching out and feeling thier feminine side. It should not just be a women's job to cook, do laundry, pick up the kids, to iron and etc. Now if we think how things were done in the South in the 1950 and above, (women were the slave in the home) the male would work and earn a living and the woman would be the slave of the house. Women job back then and the south were; Wash dish, Wash and dress the kids, cook, iron clothes, get the mail, Make sure the news paper, make sure fetch thier slippers and always make sure that dinner is at the table when the man of the house comes home.

  Now in the new age the male works and the female works. So things should be equal. So now the one that is in charge of the house are both man and women. If I had a nice suit on, I would wear a apron.

  Sterotype (MAN) Yes, We are tough, We eat Raw meat, We don't cry, because we are strong and of course we do not dance.. Don't you think it is time for a change. Why should we be tough at our other conterparts, that doesn't make any sence. Raw meat can be bad for you health and I like things cooked. Don't hate it when we do not show are feeling to you, we are human too. Believe of not! Men were the very first belly dancers, because in middle east, the women are forbidden to show their body parts, So they would find young men and dress them in dress and etc and they would dance. But the truth about the hole thing is would you rather dance with your girlfriend or you man....That is the question that you have to ask yourself.

  Just because I love the fact that my husband is very loving and tender doesn't mean that I think he should be sharing facial products with me, and I am certainly glad that though he has no problem sharing household chores, he also has no problem with auto-maintenance and other DIY projects. That goes both ways though. He got sick of me stealing his tools so he bought me my own set for Christmas one year!

  I don't think sharing in household chores is whats making men lose their masculinity. I think the reason men are not as masculine as before is because women are always trying to fix that part of them. Women have decided that they need to fix...the male with an ego...men have to communicate and share their feelings....men should understand women....men can't be macho. All those personality defects that...oh ya....pretty much make him a man....we want to fix... so we send him to counseling so he can learn how to be more like us.

  What a bunch of crap. I personally don't want a man that thinks like me or understands me. He's not a woman...he's not supposed to. I like men that act like men...have a male egos....and act macho...there are plenty of outside chores that I would rather not do... I don't want to take the trash to the dump. I don't want to mow the lawn....and I don't want a man wants me to do those things instead of iron...

  I wouldn't mind a man ironing (because I hate that part of laundry), however, I also prefer that my guy knows how to change a tire, work on the car, etc. I think household chores should be shared, but there are just some things a guy should know. I can give my car a tune-up and change the tires, as well, so I'm not being sexist. I also think a guy should be able to sew a button on as well.

  What I don't want is a guy who shares my beauty products or cares more about he looks than I do.

  There is a definite lack of "real men" out there, and by that I mean a guy who is confident, can take charge when he needs to and still can show his tender side when the need calls for it. However, for a guy to be a blubbering mess is public is just wrong somehow.

  Yes, I know. What I want doesn't exist, but a girl can dream, can't she?

  I love a country boy but i also love the rock stars and it seems like a big difference but i guess all that matters is that your man takes care of you.

  my husband will fix our car cook me dinner dink a beer with his friend paint my toe nails watch a basketball game and have a good long cry at the end of atonment with me all in the same day, and none of this makes or doesn't make him a man. what makes hime a man is the fact the when our kids come crying to us he will hold them and when we are in trouble as a family in any way he will take care of us. a man is someone who will stand up for what is right and will take his responsibilty with a smile. and the fact that he is utterly devoted to me and our kids make him the manly-ist man in the world. so girls drop your standards and expectaions, if knowing how to fix a car is important to you then learn...enjoy who a man is as a person and of he is devoted to you, don't worry about the rest, you can hire a car mechanic or a repair person. drop the standards.

  My intended had better be able to iron his own shirts - because I'm not doing it. I'm also not scrubbing his clothes to get out cooking stains because he forgot to put on an apron before making our dinner. And, yes, he'd better take care of his skin now while he's in his twenties so that people don't think I'm just his trophy wife when we're in our sixties.

  When it comes to being able to fix the car or reshingle the roof, um, I think there are professionals you can hire to do that sort of thing correctly.

  What matters to me is that he be there for me emotionally when I need him, and that he balance us out as a couple. In our particular situation, he happens to be the logical one who can get down to the bottom of a problem and sort it out while I'm still wiping up my rivulets of running mascara, but I know lots of couples in which he's the emotional one and she's the one telling him to cut it out.
