I can attest that there is a pervasive lack of real, authentic men in our society, which is what I took as the gist of genxer's semi-hidden message. Been working on at least not being part of that problem for many years. But all this is way off topic, I'll end it here before evoking too much moderator irk. |
Ya, my issue with his post is the use of "Most Men". Weather it be friends and family or your example of sample size... neither are remotely close to any real statistics (and to my knowledge there are no relevant statistics) that you'd need to say "Most Men" I too have been in IT for almost 30 years. I don't even fit that narrative and I'm in tech for a living. Anyway...
