I LOVED The Avengers. Just a very fun and funny movie, filled with oh, so much eye candy. Where did they get so many sexy and svelte people together in one place? Seriously, I would hit every single person in that movie, even the extras. Haha... anyway, nice blog. :) I somewhat agree with your opinion. I LOVED The Avengers.

I'm judging by my last picking up the magazine 12+ years ago. Who knows.. maybe they've changed... Hey it COULD happen...

My wife and I know that I am a fully committed dad and that if need be I would stay at home with our son instead of her. All that really matters is how YOU feel about it. "Society at large" will always have their own opinions, and stereotypes will always exist - especially ones based on a parenting paradigm that has only recently begun shifting (how many of OUR parents had anywhere near the kind of role equality we have when it comes to raising out kids?). It takes time for old-fashioned perceptions to change. Take comfort in the fact that you're changing them, and show the same perspective Jim does - no matter what the people at Time really think, they've gotten people talking about, and buying, their magazine. Don't let them bring you down because of it.

I have had fears that something like this will happen to me! I have a while (mine are 1 and 2) but I have nightmares of walking through the house being attracted by a smell, or sound, rounding a corner ready to do sinful things to my wife, only to find that it's not her! I think it takes a lot of courage to post this, as the previous comment by dogsheep jokingly indicates. Sorry I'm so late to the party! I look forward to reading your exploits! This is amazing!
