I'm one of the lucky ones: background from farming, well paid job as an engineer now. Can work hard, climb etc as well as program and help run big distributed networks as part of an ops team. Big family. Married for over a decade to a woman who love me and who is easy to love back. More than three kids together. In-laws are nice.

I do have my struggles, yes, but I don't write about them on the Internet but I'll tell as much: I'm happy to be a man.

But I do feel sorry for the boys (and girls) who grow up in more limited environments. And for boys with fewer good male role models and society telling them it's their fault for being born with a different chromosome.

It seems like you're proving his point.

is this sarcasm? belittling someone because of their sex. really short-sighted
