196. The heaviest burden?
That is a matter of perspective. It is a statistical fact that men die alot younger than women, doesn't seem to be a light burden there. I think many women think that men simply have it sooo easy and that life is just handed to us. That couldn't be farther from the truth and if some people took the time to walk in someone or some other gender's shoes, perhaps we would walk away with a new, fresh, enlightened perspective.

It is because I put myself in women's shoes that I have the level of support for their rise to equality and ownership of their bodies. I just ask that you do the same. These mass generalizations about gender are killing the chance for us to really learn about each other.
