General Discussion

but quite often it is still women who have the role of looking after smaller beings in our families. Women are often the ones looking out for danger to children and not always physical dangers. Situations that could have harmful effects emotionally or psychologically on children are often on women's minds. We develop a wariness for possible dangerous or unhealthy situations.

Today's men are also often involved in child care at home, or in professions that deal with children e.g. teaching, medical professions, psychologists. I didn't mean to imply that men do not have a sense of responsibility for people in their care. They certainly do. But it seems to me that, in general, men's and women's approaches and perspectives are often different. But of course, both men and women vary so my impressions would not apply to all men and women.
