    Here’s an idea: stop thinking that you are inherently any different than a woman.

    Attempting to “be a man” inherently dehumanizes women; in my not so humble opinion, the artificial divide between man and woman has caused more harm and destruction to global society than anything else in history.

      But I am different to a woman, specifically if there’s a violent threat or harm to the family.

      I will step in first to handle it, I’m more suited to it. I won’t be able to do it the other way around where I take the kids and run while the wife deals with whatever the threat is.

      Or a simpler example, if I get attacked, I do not want the wife to step in. However, if she is attacked, I will step in.

      Unless we’re limiting the discussion to exclude those situations?
