Men's Group

and I appreciate your thoughtful response.

As for the blog entry, I don't think it proposed to be anything other than that woman's own struggle with expectations about having children. I can imagine it wouldn't have resonated with a lot of people, as many experiences others have don't. There is a recent cultural trend of testimonial literature in both published and internet form. I find little of it interesting myself, but once in a great while something strikes me. What I found odd in that case is that you were so irritated over it.

I do recall a discussion we had several months ago where we talked about your quite understandable objection to ideas that society doesn't allow men the range of emotion afforded women. I understood and respect that position. Some of your responses of late have puzzled me, particularly when I ask for explanation or examples and you don't respond.

We all have life experiences that shape how we see the world.
I accept that I have misinterpreted you. I hope I can better understand you in future conversations.

Edit: For what it's worth, I would find it helpful if you would explain WHY you find a particular post or situation offensive or bothersome rather than simply expressing an objection. It would not only help your views be better understood, but it would also give others a chance to learn from the exchange. That's my two cents, for whatever it's worth.
