I appreciate your willingness to share this personal part of your life, @krazykrista. I really do. 😊 Also, what you said is on point - you're not just raising little boys - you're raising someone's husband, father, friend. This one got me, and it will be etched in my mind forever, and a great reminder when the time comes I'll have children of my own - to raise them to be good human beings. 💕

About the whole gender issue thing... This world has become a much complicated place, @krazykrista. Some people, or shall I say some women who were badly hurt by men, have a tendency to make bad judgments and prejudices that point out that all men are bad and just there to break girls' hearts.

This is sad, but we can't do anything to change how they feel. Sometimes, that's just how hurt and pain can turn somebody into.

However, what we can do is to let them know that not all men are like that. Chivalry still exists in this world - but chivalrous men aren't knights in shining armor anymore. 🤣

For me, the new chivalry in today's world is real love and commitment a husband or a life partner can ever give to his spouse. A helping hand a man can give to an old lady crossing a street, an encouragement a man gives to a friend who's down, an all-out support a father can give to his children - that's just a part of what chivalry is. And we can teach our young generation to make it "trending" again, if it has gone "out-of-style".
