All good points...I have one salient observation about how our society has been evolving (devolving in my opinion) and it's the erosion of the male. The male/female lines are at the very least blurry, where before men were allowed to be men...now we're portrayed as bumbling idiots in ads/tv/media and women run the show.
I've made a very conscious decision to NEVER apologize for being a man

Sounds kind of anti-women to me, just reading it without any further explanation :/
 
I guess what I meant by that was to stand-up and quit acquiescing...not in any disrespectful manner, but just not buying into the portrayal of the male species being idiots. Being a man doesn't necessarily mean that you're exerting your force upon others, (especially women), it means that you're exhibiting all the traits that maintain the natural balance needed for our society to be healthy. I'm not apologizing for having male traits, where I constantly see the man being led-around by his wife and he has that 'already dead' look in his eye. Just be in charge of your life, that's really all I was trying to impart...sorry if it came-off in any misogynistic fashion, that was not my intent
