I agree. And the exchange happening in this thread, in my opinion, is EXACTLY why what you wrote in the blog needs to be out there for men to read (and why I linked to it in the other site, which is guys just HUNGRY for this type of positive masculinity). There was nothing even remotely offensive about it (imho) yet some guy is going to see the title and instantly feel a sense of shame and guilt that he doesn't deserve to have. And if he reads further perhaps he'll reconsider his own position.
