I call bs on that. Can you name a female philosopher? I'm sure there are some (thinks).
There are no right or wrong answers, I don't think; and I'm not trying to make men justify their relationships or their sensitivity. I don't care if you wash the dishes or if your wife changes the oil in your car. I'm just looking for some simple wisdom about what you think it means to be a man, a father, a brother . . . take your time, gents.

My actions are going to be viewed as good and normal by my daughters, setting the bar for their relationships. That means I have a say in the world my Grandchildren will inhabit. I cannot then engage in activities that are corrosive to the family or not be present for my kids. This also has the positive effect of being good for me. Right actions would include treating my love well and exclude being a typical Irish drunk.
I still need to engage my primitive side if I'm going to feel whole, that means building stuff, having guy/nature time, and engaging in something competitive. There is a fuzzy line between being too engaged in self stuff and not doing enough. It takes some reflection and will always be imperfectly executed.

Haven't you noticed that the perceived smart females of the day can spit cuss and talk like a man ? Now you have me thinking cloud. Were there any female philosophers before the 1900's? |

Since when was philosophy purely introspection?
