Men in Trouble - God Help us..
No, not a feminist, just someone who has always loved an underdog story. And women have been underdogs for quite a while now. It was not men per say, but the convenient laws either developed or interpreted via religious text to keep women in check so that we can keep calling them properties and put a leash on our so called undivided and sincere love for them. One wouldn’t call me totally woke to make such statements, but I have had relationships both work and personal, where I met brilliant women just giving away their lives or talent because they felt it came in the way of their relationship as a mother, sister, daughter and worst one, as a wife. I am a father to very intelligent girls myself and I fear the freedom and independence I am inculcating in them will backfire in their future relationships as well.
?"Feminism isn't about making women stronger. Women are already strong; it's about changing the way the world perceives that strength." - G.D. Anderson
But this is the kicker, if you try to put a lid on a storm, you will be destroyed, men of these times are equally woke, and very sensitive of the equally strong and powerful entity called women, but they get steam rolled by good women simply because of their past toxic relationships from their father, brother, uncle or even husbands. So when we find women, who are cheating on a work environment, marital or any other relationships, this is not just cheating, it is a misguided payback something done to them eons ago by another set of male chauvinistic behavior, which will be burdened on good and understanding men to these achievements of women, and will always keep the men of these times on backfoot defending for something they never did. Being punished for a legal clause or social expectation put in place by men who have long past away, and the biggest mistake the men of these times did was not care enough to take time to change it. Since it was going to add to their inconvenience either way. So, did we really change as men, or its just a cheezy statement we men make to sweep someone we love of their feet, or please our mothers, sisters or who so ever. And do we really deserve the misguided prejudice steam rolling by good women on men. So to all my fellow good men out there, gentlemen.... we are in trouble.
