whaddya think? Hardworking Guys are Great

Ok, so I came up through school during the initial stages of women's lib movement, feminism, etc. We were taught that little girls were better than little boys because we could do everything they did and still be female.

The truth, as I'm finding it now, is that it is wonderful to be female. But we're not necessarily better than the boys just because were girls. In fact, there are some things that boys are better at than girls:

• Keeping parts of life separate--let's face it, they don't worry endlessly about the kids, the kids's futures, the kids's mates, whether the kids have eaten the best possible breakfast, whether the hubby is getting enough of the right foods for his age, etc.
• Hard work is an easy thing--seriously, the physical stamina of a man is amazing! And he seems to recover his strength and energy better/faster. That's why first there was the Six Million Dollar Man, then the Bionic Woman!
• Looks younger, naturally, longer---again, let's just face this fact. Most men seem to age more gracefully than most women. Drats.

Ok, so I'm breaking out of the old ideas of girls being better than boys. I'm learning to accept that sometimes men can be better at things than women. In fact, I can almost say, vive la diference, without cringing.

You go, boys!
