I wonder how there are still men who think their role is to "provide and protect" their family as if a woman can't do both also.

It makes mes sad that that thought is still around let alone prevalent.

And I grew up in a home where my mother stayed home and my dad worked.  I'm just wise enough to know that isn't the only way to do it and boys should be raised to consider women their equals...not someone the have a "job" to protect.
