How many men care about sharing interests and viewpoints with a woman before opting to date them? How many guys do you know who date women who they would not be friends with? I think the answer is, in fact, most. Liberalism and conservatism aside, the fact is, that the majority of men do not LIKE women as people. Beyond that, there is a group within that demographic that actively dislikes women as people, and within that demographic, one that hates.

My wife is part of a group of women that exists so that their kids can play together, kind of a pre-school socialization group.
To pretty much every woman in the group, I am some sort of miraculous anomaly; a man who cook , cleans, helps take care of the kid(s), doesnt mind taking the kid(s) by myself, doesnt mind (and actively encourages) my wife to go out for drinks, movie, just to hang out, whatever. I even "filled in" for Bree a couple of times so that Lily could go to someone's birthday party. Thier husbands wouldnt think of it. Ever.
Bree thinks its ridiculous that it is such a big deal; I could just as easily sleep outside. :)
