Sometimes I wonder whether we set ourselves for distance. I mean we as the patriarchal society. As men we are taught to be go getters and be leaders. To make it out on our own. Would it be surprising that men are not close to their families?
Men who wants kids are ecstatic about having girls but not as enthused about boys. Because the girls will stick to them more. Whichever way, the mum gets more of attention up to old age. While we are trying to find equality, maybe this is something we can change. Or will women become more distant in the future?
