I do that from time to time.. phrase things awkwardly that is.. I mean that I believe gender roles serve a useful purpose naturally, spiritually, and socially, but society likes to assume that personality and gender roles are the same thing.  I see gender roles as men leading, protecting, and providing for their family vs. women nurturing children. Of course these roles are flexible and should overlap, but they are there for a purpose.  My interests, hobbies, etc. still have endless room to expand within my role as a man."}
