When I complain that I am too this or not enough that, he pulls me into his arms and tells me he loves me for everything that I am, already right now.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />In the last month , I have been in this scene with my boyfriend so many times and not once does he gets tired of smiling at me and telling me how much special i am to him. That i feel is love. and a blessing from God. That guy i know will and does treat all ladies well. Feminist or not. That is the kind of men we all need.Nimue galnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008707678712353916.post-78931423795707078272013-03-01T06:56:19.470-08:002013-03-01T06:56:19.470-08:00Kudos to both you and your husband for shaping you...Kudos to both you and your husband for shaping your roles not according to someone's prescribed norms but according to your interests, abilities and needs. You set a great example for your children and others.<br /><br /><br />I too have found that feminism has in fact freed and empowered me as a male. Although I will not begin to claim that I have suffered under patriarchal structures as women have, I also have been limited and constrained by them in ways that have kept me from embracing and living in my full identity. We men need feminism and need to support feminism every bit as much as women.Andrew Carmichaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008707678712353916.post-12486513378810313482013-02-28T19:30:59.898-08:002013-02-28T19:30:59.898-08:00I also loved hearing the voices of men.

I loved reading men's voices and women's concern for the men in their lives. This is a kind of feminism I can love.Esther Emeryhttp://twitter.com/EstherEmerynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008707678712353916.post-68917873023097914372013-02-28T16:05:24.473-08:002013-02-28T16:05:24.473-08:00Seriously.

There was so much I didn't know I didn't know, and you highlighted many of those points, but especially about your husband agreeing that he also needs feminism. I loved reading men's thoughts on this. It is so so so refreshing!Saskia Wisharthttp://twitter.com/saskiacwnoreply@blogger.com
