There are two sides to the problem. I have trouble listening to men. There's something weird about a man telling you how he feels, what he sees. I've learned to get over this strangeness. I listen to men as I listen to women, when they're willing to talk.
Women speak of themselves so freely.
They organize, they teach and train, they even teach boys how to be men. As individuals we can shine, but we don't do anything to improve the reputation of our gender. Two sides, one coin I hear complaints from women who want men to be more expressive. I have something to say to them. When you're ready to hear what men have to say, men will say more.
