A friend ( who is a widow, as am I) have women friends who are still married and consistently bang on about the male species - how they cannot tolerate pain as well as women, how they don’t see things that need to be done, etc. We find it a bit disconcerting since we miss our DHs although they were certainly not perfect! My DH was rather spoiled by his mum who didn’t work outside the home. I tried diligently to make DS more capable of cooking, etc. which he actually is. However, DIL (who was raised by a single mom) consistently bashes men for the characteristics noted above. They are raising my GS and I disapprove of ANY stereotyping but also am concerned about what message he is taking from his mum’s comments. What do you think?
