Ok people, hijacking a thread is not allowed. Kindly go take a walk, get some air, call your sponsor, stop arguing with each other and go help somebody else. Your posts are no longer useful in this thread.

For my part, I reject outright the implication that a man is "broken" or somehow incomplete unless (i) he can fully grasp what his wife's feelings are; or (ii) that he must fulfill every emotional need she has; or (iii) his own emotions are as deep and wide as hers are. And I wonder how many WOMAN have attempted to see the world through a man's viewpoint (and, no it ain't all roses and cupcakes).
Further, I reject outright the notion that millions of years of evolution including the impact of testosterone have had on male feelings/thoughts (which, after all, are JUST biochemical reactions occurring in the brain) and can be safely ignored or, worse, just "wished away."

In my earlier post I stated that I don't mind that differences between sexes aeem to be no longer noted. I tried to edit but I have been unable to do so. That's not what I meant to say. We are different in a lot of ways. Women's "roles" aren't rises and cupcakes either. We don't wear the capes
