[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t let the patriarchy tell you that you can’t have a close emotional bond with your adult sons. The world needs way more emotionally intelligent and empathetic men. [/quote]

the son is a son until he takes a wife / daughter for life thing comes from patriarchy, including pitting women against one another. be cool with your son's friends, your son's SO's, etc. [/quote]

I know you hate it and have convinced yourself it’s a conspiracy by the patriarchy.

But there are differences between the sexes. One of them is that men tend to form their own family and the wife is in charge of most social planning and the family calendar.  Is it the patriarchy forcing women to do all planning and organizing? Or is it actually a good thing that a wife gets to control the family calendar and what the family does? [/quote]

NP. Oh please. If your husband can somehow manage a calendar and a phone for his work meetings and obligations, and can somehow make a few medical appointments a year, he can also make plans with his family. My husband is a big boy who knows how to use his very own phone and a calendar! Wowie, zowie![/quote]
