olive bleu said:when i was in college, i wrote a paper entitled "The Liberation of Men". It is simply outrageous that we, who fought for so long to be given the right to be allowed to live in full expression of who we are, should now be willing to restrain men in the same way.
It is simply wrong that we expect our men to be macho and full of bravado on our arm walking down the street for the world to see, and yet get angry when we cannot seem to squeeze sufficient emotion and softness out of them behind closed doors
i'm not sure you should take any blame for current male behavioural patterns. i think men restrict their own behaviour. yes, many are confused and stuck in the rut of wondering 'what women want' ... but don't forget that most macho behaviour is for the benefit of other men.
