Glad we can share some understandings the same,Tann. I think much of the problem with both of our cultures are stereotypes and misunderstandings of each other. Of course women have changed in America. There are yet a few who resemble my mother,a woman of the 1960s. Men have also changed,and how they choose to recreate and be active has changed,or become "not at all'. Russia is also not the only place which has high alcoholism,although she has the most vodka consumption. It is interesting your statistic of matricide. Men harbor stress,and fewer have outlets for their aggression. Again,I believe this to be societal change in men. For example,my home-western Montana-is a place with much natural beauty. But the economy and wage base for most people is very poor. Men should be out fishing,or playing football with their kids. Montana is a playground of outdoor activitiy.Instead,they live each day the same--eat,work,come home,shower,sleep-beat the kids. And at home they watch TV or play videos--and we probably all know people addicted to the internet. And they fall into a repetitive rut. As a result,whole families also seem to be lethargic homebodies. Our roles as men has changed to match the hours we have to work to pay for this expensive life. I think that the Women`s Rights issues are an easy excuse for men to hide behind. This was certainly a much larger issue in the 60`s. Real men do not have to hide behind excuses. Men need to find themselves,and with some intelligence,wit,and positive attitude,women will attract to them no matter where they are. I date women regularly,but the reason I put so much stock in an eastern woman is because I want my family to have different perspectives, values,culture,and traditions. Most Americans lack this ( or at least I do-except for the values ;0)) )
