		<description>Three Cheers, Jim. You are so right! Our society is pushing stereotypes to the very edges. Women must be thin and busty. Men must be muscled and forceful. Anyone not fitting within this pidgeonholing is deficient and needs improvement.
My husband is an artist, scientist, and teacher. Luckily he's never felt the need to wedge himself into the mold of "a real man". I knew there were others like him out there. I'm glad to have found one.</description>
