Dear Lenny,

Thanks for your response. I really welcome hearing

from you and the other dads on the list, because it

helps me to remember how differently men and women are

socialized. Believe me, as I raise Teddy I am

conscious of the words I use, and try to praise him

for traits such as gentleness and kindness.

What I don't understand about the armor that men wear,

thanks to society, is why it NEVER comes off. I can

see Dan not wanting to talk about his feelings to

other guys at work or when he plays tennis or golf.

But why can't we have a level, honest conversation

when we're both alone together and I am specifically

asking how he is feeling? I don't think " fine " is

even considered an emotion, is it? Aaarrrggghhh!

Well, I know I have work to do to open the lines of

communication with Dan, and I suppose I can't blame

all men in general for the problems we have

communicating, so you're off the hook, Lenny. I

probably should stop writing because I don't want to

develop a reputation as the PMG list man-hater -- I'm

not! Really! I'm off to watch my well-worn video of

" Thelma and Louise " ...

Meg
