Interesting......it was definitely BOTH my parents who looked after the family. I don't really understand what special responsibility falls onto the man - all the things that have been described could apply to either partner. What do they have to do with men in particular?
I never said it was man only or that all man are like this, just it could be like this. Cultural tradition has these roles played out atleast in Western societies for decades if not ages - Not judging right or wrong here.
I am joking around with a stereotype man image for a time now, but what defines us as a man could be explained from many perspectives. Biological, cultural, philosophical, tradition and political are just a few examples for explaining it. Personally I am appealed by the biological aspect, since it's most basic for in what makes us act masculine - testosterone.
This behaviour ofcourse is not reserved to the majority of males, but also to a minority of females.
