i recently listened to beyonce knowles lastest single and it made me realise something i knew deep down. i put it this way it affirmed some home truths for me.
am 24 years old. and honest to god i have never found it harder in my life to be a man even though in the eyes of the law i've only been a man for just over 6 years.
its hard being a man in the 21st century. you have so much repsonsiblites as a man that i wonder how men as a speiecs have survived lol.
we have to hold down a job which pays a good salary. we have look after our families. we have to keep them happy or atleast try. we have to sort out problems and not let problems fester out of control.
we have to protect our families and not let any harm come to them.
we have to teach our young children to have good morals and behaviour not like wild animals.
we have to keep the wifes happy and make sure she don't runaway with the milkman lol.
i know this more i can put in this blog of descripitions which makes a man in the year of 2008 A.D. but as i am writing this my mind has gone blank.
the strength of a woman is beyond words but since the revoultion of the sixtys and seventys where women started to burn their bras and the eightys where women were seen as businesswomen and can do any job a man can do, that we have lost the true identity of men.
true men are nothing like the brad pitts of holloywood or the bonkers tom cruise.
thats why alot of men i personally know loose their way and start getting inefrior to women. they leave their families and never look back. they beat their wifes like their fighting a man. they let kids grow up in this cold world without any sense of direction. i'll be honest i personally think when it comes down to raising a child the father is more important. why, beacuse a woman can never rasie a man, its just not possible. i was raisied by my mother without a father and i know and have seen it in countless cases. even when it comes to rasising a young woman a man can do that aswell, but not not as good as a woman, but does ocme close.
so you probably thinking how i am a man if i was rasised by a woman because i learnt how to be a man from the older males in my family and environmenet. still i am learning.
if this made any sense to you and your a woman give us men a chance and then a chance after that.
and to the men out there reading this, be a better husband, boyfriend, nephew, father, son, uncle, grandad and brother to the women in our lives
