I am especially sensitive to a woman's life in our society and how that will effect my daughter.
I NEVER want her to feel second class, or believe she is.
I NEVER want her to believe that because she might not look like all the skinny women (no offense to the naturally skinny, just the 'role model' we seem to have in hollywood and the magazines) in pictures every where you look, she is FAT and should be ashamed of it.



wsmac...I don't have much to say except I think that's great. I think she's a very lucky girl to have you as a father. 8)

Thanks Beenthere,

Honestly, while I appreciate the comments made about me here... I sorta don't get it...

These things I do, the things I feel and say here seem so natural to me. I do not see my actions and words as anything special or deserving of praise, and I can't understand why other people... men specifically... can't feel the same way towards others and express it just as easily.

It gets frustrating to see how people are treated, and in the context of this thread, how women are treated.
I suppose it could be similar to how an Aspy just doesn't get the concept/appeal of small talk.

I really do appreciate all of your comments and the fact that you have accepted my presence here in this thread.
I just don't see myself as doing anything other than what feels natural.

I don't know if this is coming across the way I want it to.
