Much progress has been made though. My father was born in 1920 and was seemingly made of hard and cold steel. Fast forward to male members of my family now and they are unabashedly capable of much more than steel. In general, I believe most men are more informed, aware, sophisticated, advanced, developed, open-minded, educated, knowledgeable and wiser than their predecessors. Don't misunderstand, there are still stragglers and those who embrace a caveman mentality and that will always be the case. A person has to have acceptance and good judgement to embrace and respect personal growth and of course the wherewithal to achieve it.
