Male Mystique

Sounds as if you lacked caring acknowledgements of your good parts. Your parents just lacked permission to do this, as apparently did mine. It was a bad comment or nothing. Very self destructive. Don't do this to your daughter. Give her more praise than you feel comfortable giving. It will never be enough. She will love you for life for doing this. Don't use the chicken Mommie do all male technique of subcontracting your emotional expressions to your wife, sister, or mother. This is all false, and very weak.
            
Most men are still trapped in the Male Mystique, in silent harness for life, making money and providing.
             
Most guys never talk as you do. They are less enlightened than you are. Keep up the good work.
             
Remember, your counselees are your part time children..................

Subject: RE: [LA Schools] Takeover Plan Sparks New Debate

We could always switch to the private school system: sexes seperated. Uniforms for all. Much group marching exercising and singing along. Tests every week. Pushups or laps or parent fines for refusal to do the work. School should have practical curriculum interwoven with the academic subjects, mandatory for all students: cleaning, contracts, bus and plane and train schedule mastery,
cooking, interacting with politeness, understanding of trivial human physical differences and basic sameness of functioning and rights, keeping time commitments, agreements, deciding consequences for derelict students, disruptive students (they need more love and attention), and road plan to propel themselves through the day, and understanding of reality: things take effort and work. Life is hard. 

Some things need to be done hundreds of times before the technique is mastered, basic facts of our culture: music, art, politics,citizenship, functioning of the elements of government, public service departments, police, ambulance, hospitals, courts, libraries, colleges, universities, trade schools, operation of cars, and emergency training for serious emergencies, such as are outlined in certain books: how to stop blood, splint a broken bone, CPR, delivering a baby in a car, etc. How to behave in a public building, mall, street, church or religious building, store, etc. Exposure to this for say 6 or more years, plus developing rudimentary job skills, how employment agency or Internet job market works, etc.
should provide for at least partial education for most of the kids. 

Lessons on irrational cultural norms should also be giving: i.e. men are macho and immune from requirements for daily living. They must realize that they must learn to function along, and not be always cared for by women, parents, prison guards, police, coaches, teachers, etc.
