Healthy Masculinity: The Idea That Men Can Control Themselves

[seabeyond]

7. well, that is a different perspective for me.

i normally think in dominance, and control is a tad different. but merely control, which sounds right, seems more a human condition. particular people and characters and life experience rather than gender.

i have three women i know that were raised with alcoholic fathers. my mother in law. my mother. and my niece. ALL three women are very controlling, very controlling of their environment and it rubs off on all things. i am very much NOT about control. no desire. dont want it. not mine to own. so i have to be very patient and understanding with these women.

but, particularly with women that are raised by alcoholics, i have read they tend to control because of the scary, instability environment.

anyway thanks. and it certainly is not even close to all men, so that pretty much clues us in.
