That’s not what I said. What I said is that men and women might interpret ‘caring’ differently. As an example, my father has never sent me a birthday card (though at a push he would remember my actual DOB I’m sure). Every year though, he helps me submit my tax return. In fact, he is my unpaid accountant. My mum doesn’t know anything about my self-employment. Are you suggesting that my dad cares less about me than my mum because he doesn’t send me a small piece of paper once a year? Or is my mum an uncaring bitch for not balancing my books?

Or, as I happen to think, do they just express care in different ways? You’ve taken an overly hostile approach to this conversation that suggests to me you’ve drawn your own conclusion about men in general that might be unfair when rationalised. Or to bastardise your closing line, just go sit in that room of cards, gifts and empty gestures that lack practical usage*

*I’m aware men can send cards/gifts and women can help with practical tasks, I’m just saying this isn’t always the case.
