Perhaps I just wasn’t in a very good mood this morning. Perhaps the New Yorker cartoon put me off. Perhaps it was just in bad taste, but this morning I was asked to Stumble an acquaintance’s recent blog post. It was yet another list of things men don’t do for their relationships. It wasn’t even particularly original or well written.
It was an obvious sign to me that particular individual doesn’t actually read this blog. I write over and over again about how there are good men out there, there are men who go the extra mile, men who are not disgusting pigs, men who are willing to stop and ask for directions. They do exist, despite the media’s focus on the bumbling idiots that also exist.
I’m sure that particular blog post is going to do well. Lists generally do well on Stumbleupon, and I wish that particular blogger luck – but just so that all of you know, I’m all about helping men be better, not promoting stereotypes and myopic viewpoints.
