Men can do anything

My friend Viviana asked me to write, sometimes, how a man (i.e. I) can work for his family without being discriminated (unlike women).
When I ask for meetings to end at 4 p.m. in order to pick up my child from school, everyone is available and, indeed, they compliment me on the effort. This rarely happens to women.
I also saw something else: everybody says that women can do anything (e.g. the show Lida Po?t), but still somebody things that man cannot do anything. This approach allows them to push women to do only the things that “men don’t do”. But this is wrong and men (except Marco Mazzetti) only one thing cannot do, only one.
So I can write each month of a little event to demonstrate than man can do everything. I don’t want to say that I’m very good, I want only to say that we can do it.
Today I want to thanks the ISO/IEC 27001 and 27002 translation group. They gave me the opportunity to work while I brought my children to karate, football, evening courses and doctors. They never complained of my switch off and switch on.
