"My husband is a rare man, who knows his way around a grocery and a drug store, who is capable of choosing and picking up everything we need as staples in our pantry as well as using them so that he knows the difference between paper towel brands, which sugar is best, and which variety of bread crumbs will work when we're making stuffing for dinner. He also knows which varieties of gatorade and soft drinks are the kids' favorites, and he is the one who stocked those things in his former household, he shares half the duties in ours. But he is rare." _____________________________________________________________
On one hand, it almost sounds as if you are in agreement with how badly men are disparaged in the media. Then, you go on to support that notion by saying how "rare" it is for a typical man to know his way around a store. How would you know if it is "that rare" or not? When I shop in the grocery store, I see plenty of guys doing the shopping, by themselves and sometimes with their kids as well. They don't look confused or lost at all. And neither am I. I don't believe we are that "rare". On the contrary, I think your presumption is part of the problem.
