Why Dads with Sons Should Care About Girls’ Issues
Alright, dads of boys.

But you […]

I haven’t seen Inside Out yet. I know, what kind of a Pixar fanboy am I if I can’t even get my butt to a screen or a theater or a phone to watch a Disney Pixar film about something that I am intimately involved with: total lack of control over my emotional state. Kidding. […]
