Loose Women...I Think Not!

I stumbled across that lunch timeTV programme for mummies called 'loose women' today (shh), where women sit around a big table gossiping about anything and everything...Its strangely addictive!
Anyway It came to a point where they brought up a topic of conversation about weather they feel men should be intouch with their emotions or not! Ok I know in the 50's it was all about men knowing their place and running the house hold, and since the 60's it became quickly progressive that men and women were equal and real men DO cry! So.... I was in the thought that we are now in a place where we all have pretty much the same rights, men can cry when they feel they need to without getting scrutinized for it and women can have careers if they fancy! But oh no...Loose Women had to turn that right on its head! They all discussed how they don't like a cry baby, and a man should only cry when its completely appropriate! They then went on to talk about their past relationships and having been out with some totally helpless men until they got to the point of being fed up with 'driving them around because they were so helpless they couldnt even get a driving license together'.
I have heard allot of women say this sort of thing regarding men and their 'emotions', and Iv wondered allot why it has come to this point. Its in my belief we are just never happy with the opposite of sex and always enjoy a good bitchy session. From my experience I just dont think men know their place, how they are supposed to behave...its rare that i come across a man who still opens the door for me, they don't know how to look, and with the ever increasing emo trend their future looks bleak! They feel under pressure to come across manly until we see the likes of pete doherty who manages to pick up one of the worlds most beautiful women, and this really throws a spanner into the works on the image front! They don't know weather to show anger in a argument or to just break down and cry...because WE (us ladies) are so quick to call them a cry baby, mummies boy or a wife beater with anger issues! My god...where do these men stand!? Do they stay at home while the mother goes to pursue her career? or do we take charge on the home front while they work to provide? This then raises the question if men are threatened by career focused successful women or are quite happy to be a full time stay at home dad? which in my opinion takes a soft male to do so!...this then can be seen as a cry baby! It just goes on and on...when will we stop being so judge mental? or are we the ones who don't actually know our place and there for don't know what we actually want? I have come across a fair few women who feel they cant be a stay at home mum because they feel under pressure to be at work. Are we slowly taking over mens roles in life and making them feel they way they made women feel way back when? To me this no longer feels like equality...but just females trying desperately to take some control back and in the process the scales tilting completely! It takes the right amount of each ingrediant to bake a really tasty cake!
