Comment on Rethinking Father’s Day by Michael Gillespie

I am not so convinced that brain rewiring is sufficient, but Levine’s book sounds promising. Father involvement is, to me, not just important because the father is a male and the mother is female and they engender social expectations that need to be crushed (to which I let my feminism ring). But because real men – in the anti-machismo sense, respect their wives/partners and children enough to see past these prescriptions. Here, where my wife and I live, we have the Real MEN’s Project (Men Embracing Non-violence). Here is a news story:(http://www.awareshelter.org/node/63).

So, maybe it more than just an active role in domestic life, but rather a respectful, productive role that we celebrate. Peace.

These are great ideas for an elegant but financially feasible evening with friends. I especially like how the photographer captured the light at “prosecco o’clock.” It enhances the beauty of the cocktails, which are saturated with the gorgeous berry pigments. Bravissima!
