It's a rainy day here in Raleigh, and my girlfriend and I were curled up drinking some nice hot tea, watching the Lifetime network, and talking about our feelings. I told her about this thread.

She suggested that we all get together and write to Oprah to see if we could do a show on the problem.

"Today on Oprah- macho guys, large and in charge, share with us the feelings of isolation, loneliness, and depression they've hid for so long. ..

"Sometimes, when the guys tell me I have no backbone- it really hurts- it's worse than catching my fingernail in a 10,000 rpm die grinder- or hitting my thumb with a 2 lb hammer while I'm trying to knock a ball joint loose..."

"This and more, on today's Oprah"
