I grant Ms. Watson's point. Still.

52. the dichotomy in my real world, and what frustrate my men/boys so much.

i was not raised as gender, but person. i cannot even figure out what i am suppose to give up or addd, to be a woman. and feminine totally blows my mind in trying to understand what that is.

well, even more so, i did not raise my boys in gender. and never lived my husband in gender. and do not allow with brothers, nephews or father.

so, they have none of the restrictive, binding, imprisoning maleness that so much of society feeds us, to insist on being loved.

they have been able to not live the defined role.

this allows insight

this allows appreciation.
and this allows the win win win

but the PRIVILEGE/ENTITLEMENT of being male is so so so so so.... damn hard getting rid of. as they discuss, especially at 17 and 19 the painful and destruction maleness our society demands of them. as they step out in the real world.

it is all very interesting.

i listen.
