Feminism Ain’t All Bad – Stay at home moms are just as valuable and important as working women. #notallfeminists
Because of my support and encouragement for men – I’m often accused of being anti-feminist – or chauvinistic. The truth is – I think women are awesome! I may not agree with the politics behind a lot of contemporary feminism, I like to think that feminism at it’s core is a good thing.
To be honest, sometimes contemporary feminists are just as guilty about this as many men are.
Staying at home to raise children is a noble calling. Going to work to provide for your family is a noble calling.
Do not look down at a woman for doing either. Rather, show support and respect.
I know that the words “just a mom” are hurtful to moms who work as hard as any CEO.
And I know thoughts that accuse working moms of not being there for their kids are just as harsh.
I think it’s important for us as men to take a position of support, and not judgment.
Feminism Ain’t All Bad – Equal Pay for Equal Work #notallfeminists

One of the biggest banner of feminism is “Equal Pay for Equal Work” – it makes me question why we still don’t have this!
If two people are equally qualified for a job, they are both entitled to be paid at the same rate- and gender shouldn’t make a difference.
It is not un-manly to embrace this ideal.

Facebook Drama is for Girls: Stop begging for attention
People use social media like they should use a private journal. Airing things out on the line that should never be expressed publicly. Men shouldn’t do this. Facebook Drama is for girls.
It’s okay to share about your life on facebook. That’s kind of the point – but watch your motivation. I see people all the time posting a list of reasons to feel sorry for them – or a list of all of the good things they do so that others can like them.
Sometimes – those motives are pretty obvious. Sometimes – you simply need to ask yourself a question or two before you post. Am I posting this for attention? Am I posting this so that someone will say something nice to me? Am I posting this because I want people to see how awesome I am?
It’s as simple as thinking before you hit submit.

Facebook Drama is for Girls: Stop arguing about stupid stuff
People use social media like they should use a private journal. Airing things out on the line that should never be expressed publicly. Men shouldn’t do this. Facebook Drama is for girls.
It’s easy to want to be right. Especially when someone is wrong on the internet.
There is nothing wrong with a good discussion – but sometimes it’s easy to get sucked in to arguments and “flame wars” about things that REALLY don’t matter. Does it REALLY matter that Joe Schmoe voted for Obama and still like him? Does it REALLY matter that someone wants $100 for a used cell phone that you think is only worth $50?
Stop arguing. It doesn’t build you up, them up – and it just wastes your time.

John F. Kennedy – #ManCrushMonday
The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment; but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. ~ John F. Kennedy
Facebook Drama is for Girls: Stop complaining about your relationships
People use social media like they should use a private journal. Airing things out on the line that should never be expressed publicly. Men shouldn’t do this. Facebook Drama is for girls.
Whether it be your romantic relationships, friendships, or family relationships – griping about these online are not going to make the problems that you have better. It might make you feel better to vent – but it doesn’t make the situation better.
I have heard men gripe about their children on facebook – and I have to ask – what happens in ten years when that kid gets a facebook account, and looks back through his dad’s old posts? Ouch!
What about the damage that can be done by airing things that should be in private to the rest of the world?
Man up. Deal with your relationship issues privately and with the person that needs to hear it. Do you NEED to talk to someone else about the situation? If you do – do that privately and in real life as well.
