| | Okay, ladies and gents, men, too, have their problems. I once accused a boy friend of being a male chauvinist, and he replied, shocked, "How can you say that? I always let you do anything you want." He did not understand why I began to foam at the mouth.
And most difficult of all, most men repress their emotions. . They tend not to know what they feel, and if they do know, to find it difficult or impossible to express it.
However -- and this is a big however -- I have always thought that men have borne a greater burden then woman, even when women were usually relegated to kitchen and bedroom. From their earliest understanding, men were taught that it was their most solemn duty to carry other human beings, wife and children, throughout life, with no regard for their own preferences, with no regard for other goals they might want to pursue. They were to be beasts of burden as long as they lived. Hong and Jennifer, do you care to imagine what that would feel like?
