Definately! When I was like 5, I always thought boys had "cooties!" Now I feel like guys are amazing and I don't know what I'd do without them!

I am training to be a counselor and I have a degree in communication...having said that, it is with great dishonor and disgrace to admit that...the book "men are from Mars, women are from Venus" was a HUGE help to me! It really, truly helped me understand the differences between the sexes and I often use "the cave" analogy and "the rubber band" analogy with my clients. And, yes, I can also appreciate that men and women enjoy doing different things on their 'free time' and I no longer "try to do everything" with my wife. Previously, I would try to stay by her side for every minute of our vacations together...now...she lays on the beach drinking alchohol slushies and I leave the resort and explore the local culture alone. And that works just fine! Good question!

Thank you for you comment reply...you are such a positive energy on this site that I'll be tracking your Q&A so that I can read your comments. I would like to add something, since you mentioned feminist & feminism...I encountered a great struggle when we chose for me to be the stay-at-home father. I was raised VERY chauvinistic and can't say I ever 'realized' it until I became the stay-at-home. Things that I used to think were 'easy' and 'the woman's job' soon became "wow...this really sucks...how do women do this and how do they put up with the condescending remarks about being 'just a mother'". I will admit, the first 1 1/2 years of staying at home to raise our children SUCKED! It was a challenge that I had not expected. Since then, I have had a newfound respect for stay-at-home mothers as well as mothers who work full time and then return home to continue their second job (while the man typically 'kicks back' and relaxes claiming to do 'his share' of chores...you know...the once-a-week lawn mowing and taking out the trash!). Anyway, long story short, feminism would not need to be a movement if more men experienced what it's like to stay-at-home and raise their children and take care of the many, many chores involved with homemaking.
