As a gentleman, do you think this quote is accurate? What are your initial thoughts?
—
When I’m talking to groups that are all men, we talk about how the masculine role limits them. They often want to talk about how they missed having real fathers, real loving, present fathers, because of the way that they tried to fit the picture of masculinity. Gloria Steinem
- Do you feel the masculine role limits you?
- If you feel the masculine role limited you, can you describe the ways in which you were limited by it?
- Did the absence of a “real loving, present father” impact the way you tried to fit the picture of masculinity?
