[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I think a parallel development to feminism and gender equality should be that men must be allowed to be emotional and vulnerable. [/quote]

Men: if you do this, your wife will think you are a pussy and will despise you, so don't do it.

Also, feminism may insist that men should be more like women, but that is never going to work, although that won't stop deranged feminists from pushing it.[/quote]

just stop, you're an asshat.  you spew this drivel and nonsense as you have created a narrative that fits your reality - you are living an empty life with zero prospects so rather than hold yourself accountable for your situation, you lash out at everyone else.

I get everything I could possibly want from DW and that's because she knows (i) I am an emotionally available partner to her, (ii) I'm the provider for the family (I make 5x her salary), (iii) I am devoted father to our 3 kids, etc. etc.  She gives me everything I want and there's no mistaking my masculinity.[/quote]

You are not saying that you are "allowed to be" (or actually are) "emotional and vulnerable" around her. And don't bother trying to claim that, because we all know it's bullshit. Women simply don't care about, and don't want to hear about, men's problems. They call that "whining" and "being a man-baby".[/quote]

I think there are people of both genders who focus primarily on their own concerns. I'm sorry you've experienced this.  
My husband is much more dramatic than me, and frankly his day to day work issues are more interesting than mine by a longshot. I'm happy to listen whenever he vents, rants, raves, and shares.  [/quote]
