		<description><![CDATA[Men at work has a nice ring to it. There&#8217;s a suggestion of physical effort being expended, and in an age of non-physical effort, that&#8217;s somehow reassuring. The image that immediately pops up for me is one of men surfacing roads or cutting down trees. This kind of work requires strength and stamina.
There&#8217;s another type [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Do men need help to realize their potential? Absolutely! Can they get the help they need from women? Absolutely not!
Back in the 1970s, women realized that they needed help actualizing their potential as well. Like men today, they were seeking not only to explore and embody their emotional power, but also to gain equal access [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I frequently hear men talking about their &#8220;friends&#8221;. Most seem to be acquaintances though, particularly when the friends mentioned are business associates. I think the confusion about what constitutes authentic friendship arises because so few men have any. In that vein, casual acquaintances become a substitute for friends. Let me clear up any confusion.

		<description><![CDATA[Why does the lone wolf lose? Like his lone wolf counterpart, he is left to nourish himself with the scraps the pack leaves behind, other societal outcasts. He faces life&#8217;s challenges each and every day without the support the pack can provide. He isn&#8217;t cool, because there&#8217;s nothing cool about being all alone in life.

		<description><![CDATA[The newlyweds in this photo aren&#8217;t off to a very good start in terms of creating intimacy. It takes both people&#8217;s efforts, and since both seem more passionate about their laptops than each other, it would seem that even physical intimacy isn&#8217;t on their radar, let alone emotional intimacy.
Unfortunately, intimacy, emotional and physical,  isn&#8217;t a [...]]]></description>

This moment has far ranging implications regarding his relationship with himself.

That disparity says everything about how men view each other.  The reasons for the huge gap are simple, and the solutions are equally simple.
