Some things have changed. For the better.

Written 8/2/14

Something came up earlier, not speificly this situation, but it got me thinking about it anyway.
Times are so different now. Way back when women were specificly house wives and secretaries and nurses, or other jobs like that, and men worked everywhere else. Im glad it isn’t like that anymore. I like the idea of a woman being treated equally as a man in the workforce. Some thing that bothers me is a little bit of a sexist remark made. This young woman gave another co worker a hard time about not knowing about cars. So she knows about cars, he doesn’t. I don’t have much interest in cars either, that’s why I didn’t research or care to learn about it, because I don’t give a damn. Ill leave the auto work to the auto interested professionals.

Just because I’m a guy doesn’t mean all I care about is cars, sports and sex. I Like to cook, guys. Im a creative person. I played dolls with my sister when we were younger. Im down with rubbing my wife’s feet now and again. To this day I play with toys with my boys, and make silly voices when they get an owie.

The fact I stay home with the boys during the day and do some dishes, a little cleaning and vacuuming doesn’t make me any less of a man. I figure it makes me a better man to be taking care of my woman by doing a bit of house work so she can come home and relax.

I have no issues with women working on a car, rooting for sports, telling crude jokes or enjoying a beer like most guys do.


Its interesting to think about the changes my generation has seen. The birth and evolution of the internet, music from cassettes, CDs, Mp3s…

Its just amazing to think about all the things Ive seen growing up.
