Is it a coincidence that the following was written by a woman who was undergoing transgender procedures to become a man?

"Instead, a new man seems to be emerging: a stay-at-home dad, forced by a failing economy and shifting workplace demographics to discover that he is, in fact, happy with a different, more expansive social role. American men expect their wives to work, according to a recent Pew research study, and want to be engaged fathers.

The new American man is freer in his gender: free to carry a diaper bag, yes, but also free to get a fancy barbershop haircut or talk about his feelings. Buddy comedies outpace romantic comedies, and the on-screen "bromances," inevitably reach a point of almost homoerotic tenderness between fart jokes"

We realize how screwed up things are when media needs women to talk about what it means to be a man.

While there is a countless number of magazines giving suggestions to women about how to manipulate men or reminding them what "is their right", an even remotely positive litterature about manliness or being a man would be labelled as sexist or unappropriate or even a "hate speech".

This fact alone says more than any possible bvllsh1t shared from a woman talking about masculinity, and the answer is no there are no such things as "stay at home dad" at least in a sane environment and society.

When it happens its because there are serious sistemic problems beginning from the law and culture/media.

I see myself much more at ease to hunt with my bare hands than changing diapers at home.
