Boys will be boys. brave to the point of stupidity.
Men are a bit different. We ain't paid to think. We do what were told to do. The women think. At least in my world. But today things are not the way they were when I was growing up. Today there's no respect for women. The women I knew when I was young were powerful. They knew who they were and their roles and responsibilities. Today most of us (women included) are merely pawns in the game of commerce. We are expected to, preached to, trained to, brainwashed to, encouraged to, coerced to, fully believe and accept men and women are equal.
Personally I believe I can never be equal to a woman. Incidentally, it doesn't matter what others think and feel because I'm talking about how I feel and think in regards to "equality".
The old ladies I knew were empowered people. Kind, gentle, respectful, loving, sharing, yet strong, powerful thinkers.....of peace not fighting over....
Today a huge percentage of the women I know are worse than the "tyrannical" men they expend much energy complaining about.
I don't know of any man that has pushed a 6-9lb living soul out of themselves and 2 days after back to scrubbing floors and making bread, carding then spinning wool and hanging laundry on the line, killing chickens for soup and mending trousers. I do know men that can do all that but not in the efficient manner my grandmothers did and especially not after(as if) giving birth. On top of that those old women could gut and skin deer, moose, elk, make blankets from the down and feathers they plucked off ducks and geese, knit socks, sweaters, mitts, scarves and even underwear and make then sew leather into shoes(moccasins) for 7-9 kids and their husbands. These old ladies didn't have time to go sit at the slot machines for hours, or go drinking alcohol till 1:30AM, or drive around all over the place visiting. They had real life that needed tending too. Real life required hard work, emotionally, mentally, physically and yes, even spiritually.
There is no way, so long as I am in this world that I am equal to a woman.
My Nana raised me. Who is raising them boys?
We are a product of our environment. Sadly our environment today is all about commerce, the $$$$$. ...and equality. Ya right. Equality to have a 9-5 and be a good citizen,
pay tax . Don't question, just do as your told.
I hope by this rant you young ladies(not girls) recognize yourselves. There is a very very powerful message here. Some of you may comprehend immediately little to lots, some may not comprehend for years. But comprehend the depth of this message you shall.
Just because I have hope for the future of this planet that we call home. I hope my grt.grt.grt.granndchildren can go mushing here too someday. Who knows maybe with your grt.grandchildren.

I'm 14 as of today ( 
). Chubby dogs may or may not be a good thing, though. They are pretty young. From what it sounds like, they're doing very well.
