Nana has seen many a marriage go to hell just because of roles.
Like it or don't like it Nana thinks there are only 2 genders and God made us different on purpose.

Not really sure why it is that some couples feel they always have to be in competition.

In my opinion there is nothing at all wrong with allowing a man to have his role as strong protector, that is for most what they are designed for, it is genetic, they need it.

In the same token men need to be respective of women that stay home to take care of children as well and understand that it is sometimes more stressful and difficult than working a job.

That doesn't mean abusive or allowing yourself to be mentally or physically beaten down by either gender, just respective of each others roles to a certain point.
Trying to turn all men into gutless panzy asses is disgusting and seems like a cabal plan to me.
Strong shouldn't = abusive!
Maternal should't = lesser!
