We were watching a nature clip on TV last week when the wild male animal started rolling around in the dirt and throwing the dirt all over the place. My wife laughed and said it was like me going out on our property! I got to thinking deeper about this and decided it was worth a share because I've been conducting this experiment on myself since moving to the country and doing so much work on our forested land--it's been brutally physical and quite manly--and I think it's really boosted my self-worth as a man and as a citizen too. It's a good sort of pride and accomplishment. Here are a few thoughts directed toward men snorting a bit and rolling in the dirt, but I think it's also important for women to hear.
