Hi Tejek, The window closed while I was still editing. I had just deleted the middle part of the sentence and hit submit to see where I was at with it, but boom the window closed.

RE: "the guys just are expected to cope. It amazes me but adults expect boys will be okay when they get an emotional body blow or a crisis. That BS is just not true!"

I completely agree with you on some people's extreme bias against men and boys on this issue. It's truly amazing.

Guys should be given no less time or space when it comes to dealing with emotional stuff.

I think Gen X guys are more discriminated against than women, in some cases. In fact, overseas we apparently beat out a F500 in retaining a male worker in part due to a Gen X rule we have.

But I also think it's slowly changing for the good, for both men and women.

I overheard some Stanford guys say they like assertive women. You never would have heard that a decade or so ago, from college students. And many women I know like sensitive guys. If a guy has his feelings cut off, what kind of relationship is that?

Regards,
Amy J
