Sure I can remember my Dad reading magazines while watching 60 minutes or my grandfather reading a magazine after eating the dinner my grandma cooked. I don't know if I have ever sat down and read a mens magazine. As a man today I think I get more criticism or feedback then my father ever dreamed of or had a chance of dealing with. Being a well-balanced man today is more than it has ever been before. I cook, I clean, I teach, I feel, I listen, I cry, I understand, I relate, I sympathize and I still have to be the man. I do things and deal with things my father never had the skill set to deal with. The level of feedback men get today is not only from more sources but on a wider range of topics. Sure some men unplug because its overwhelming. I do not take it all to heart anymore. At the end of the day I figure out what I can do with what fits and move on. Say a prayer and go to bed. I do not see men now being less then they were in my fathers generation or my grandfathers. Just different times with diferent problems.
