Fun is Fundamental

Boys just want to have fun, too (a response)

This is my response to a few things I disagreed with after some reflection on the previous episode.  While I agreed with Jack on the overall sentiments, I disagreed with the messaging that women and feminism were all to blame for the problems affecting men.
