no more, no less. a pediatrician looks at ALL parents as POTENTIAL abusers.

87. I don't want to be placed in that group simply because I'm a man.

this is the best, and from the heart. i feel it. i know it. i say these to boys, be it being white or boys. and i feel the same from them. it goes straight to a mothers heart. and there are bigger lessons than that. for them to understand so they can grow, as people.

i get that.

now....

women have potential to use a man as a wallet. this is a huge one for me. i do not want ot hear it about myself. as a female. i cringe seeing women with this attitude. feel the same. it is using. the man/woman not a person, but a thing to be used.

i still acknowledge.

thank you for that last sentence you wrote.

my kids have gone past it. so maybe i have forgotten that last sentence. said just as you did.

i think what you do not get though, is never.... never have i see the possibility with almost ALL the men and boys in my life over the lifetime.

so saying this is not seeing the men as possibly being that. knowing them, and their character, knowing they are not.

just as, i would never harm the boys. not intentionally, ever. mentally, physically or spiritually.

but.... for me, making a big deal about this on du is the problem. i meant what i said. no more or no less. men keep bring it up. women are not. you are seeing it because men keep making a bigger deal of it than any woman. no one said a damn thing until arley brought it up.
