I'm obviously a woman. However, I raised 3 men. They were boys, but now they're 32, 30 and 28.

I have so much to say.

You a e right, men are hurting. Of course they are, they're people on this planet.

I worry about the testosterone decline, I think it's the shit food. I think it's the processed garbage we've been feeding our kids. Just like girls, look at me and girls from a generation or 2 ago, wide hips, narrow waist...now, not so much, kinda straight up and down.

However, paternity fraud is easily overcome. Been there with my current hubby/ It's easy to walk into court and say no, and get a court appointed test.

Women are nowhere near wage parity. I know. I've been there. I graduated from law school and it was even. But then it isn't. The homefront is always the thing. Somebody gotta look after the kids....and it's the woman. I've seen brilliant litigators leave the field because of this. It's not equal, not even close.

As a mother of 3 men, I want to embrace them and love them and let them know it's not their fault. Many didn't grow up with a father, like mine. We need to redfine what being a man is. It's not macho dude in fisticuffs, it's not the guy that comes home with a paychequewith the wife waitng with baited breath. It's a human on the planet, half of the population, doing the best he can and then meeting another human who happens to be doing the same.
