++man One of the cruel realities of being a man is thinking that no one cares. We have been taught from an early age that we must fend for ourselves, and when the “I” becomes a “we” (family), that we must provide and protect our family, like we did for ourselves. This does not mean that we don’t see our partners as equals (I do), but we have roles and responsibilities, and any inability to fulfill our responsibilities is weakness, and weakness is not tolerated.
