““You all can go to hell. I’m going to Texas.” (Davy Crockett, to the House of Representatives, before going to the Alamo.)”
That’s a great line, Davy Crockett had good instincts!!
Kim makes some excellent points, but it sounds like he watches too much TV. We love real men here in Texas and you’re welcome any time, Kim!
His wife’s rebuttal was a good read too.
Men curse. They rant. They are louder than women. When they’re on one of these tirades after seeing or hearing something that appalls them, often women shut off. They stop listening, when this is exactly when they should be listening (if they really do want to know what the men around them think and want to hear about their innermost thoughts). They’ll think he’s just angry (and in a sort of condescending way) will decide that she won’t worry her pretty little head about his pretty little tantrum. When a woman rolls her eyes at her husband I want to slap her!Noooooooooooo!
That is when you have to listen the hardest.

Real men exist and real women love them to death. Real men and real women are a team, not one subordinate to the other… not one telling the other what they may or may not do. They speak in one voice although how they express their thoughts and ideas is going to be different. They also speak for and speak up for each other.
Pretty clear thoughts about the man/woman relationship.
