It is very early and I am on my way to College for the last
teaching morning, this term, so imagine my happiness. I am in
agreements that men and women share a great deal lot than they even
imagine, that's why I am for a transexual society (I am not referring with
this to sexual preferences or to traverstitism but to the sharing of the
roles and attitudes towards for instance child caring ). But I am seeing
more and more men taking care of their children, in a very amternal sense,
these days (maternal fathers make indipendent daughters, and indipendent
daughters became paternal mothers).
