loved the show and really identified with Dr. Mallow and his nurturing lifestyle with his children and his fight with stereotypes of fathers. One thought I had concerning his comments about other people feeling free to share their opinions, publicly, with him possibly from their own narrative: is it possible that the reason that people want to touch a pregnant women's belly or comment on social norms is that people have a need to be in community and have value within that framework and for some reason, in our modern world, the isolation of our independence is a cause of social inappropriateness? I'm not saying the old lady had a right to speak into anyone's life, but it seems like it's normal to seek connection and maybe she wasn't talking so much to Dr Mallow but really desiring connection. anyway loved the conversation.
