I have a theory. I'm interested in everyone's input, especially the men...In the 1960s we experienced the sexual revolution of women. Women over the following couple of decades (some women taking more time than others) really began to explore and accept their own masculinity. In 1950 it was considered taboo to do "man things" for women. Today, there is really no barrier.
I have been noticing a similar thing happening with men today. Just 15 years ago it would have been unheard of for a man to stay home with the children and the woman work. Today men are nurses, stay home dads, single dads, and I'm sure many other things I'm failing to think of at the moment. Men do laundry, dishes, vacuum. Maybe they'll clean bathrooms soon too!!
(just poking some fun at the boys)
It is still, in many circles, considered taboo for men to really embrace their femininity... but when I look at all of the evidence around me, I can't help but notice that this too is probably coming to a change.
I think it's very exciting. I appreciate being able to witness the evolution of our species.
