Good story. Way to represent.... Men. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks all cities suck. They could all be called Sodom and Gomorrah (then just add a number). Mine is known widely as Sodom on the Potomac. |

Well told.
I think the culture in its attempt to promote equality (and I do believe women should be paid in the work force equally for the jobs they do) has done a disservice in one way. Adult and adulting males have abandoned the role we old fashioned men held to. That is the role of protector and provider for the fairer sex. It's been a step down hill toward an ever increasing emphasis on, "What's in it for me?"
Keep being what you are, Daniel. The world still needs some of us.

The dumbing down and feminizing of the male figure the last 20 years is creating a shortage of real men. You just defined a portion of what a real man is. Good read.

Your timeline is a little short. Maybe fifty or more? It has certainly gained momentum of late. |
