Hi, I enjoyed the article (I always like how you word things!) and it did make me think: 'darn right we make the men! We put our magic in things and hold all the power' but then I also thought the opposite: "Akshata didn't ask to be first lady nor to be standing there holding an umbrella, she surely has stuff to do. Why do we have to hold the umbrella and turn men into presidents? Zero glory for allegedly all the work? not just work for being social human beings, but for being the woman in someone else's life? urgh".
