8. My son told me that too

The 1980s were his teen years and he insisted sincerely that the world would be better off if women ran it. Not just to me but I overheard him saying similar things to his friends. Once I overheard him telling his friends that if they wanted to know something they should ask their mothers.

When he died 5 years ago a group of his women friends who knew him as far back as high school told me that he was the most open minded and tolerant person, not just man, that they knew. That he accepted people the way they are. It was wonderful to hear that.
