There is a push in this country to turn all men into women. We are supposed to be more in touch with their emotions/feelings. We are supposed to be more sensitive to others. We are supposed to be more nurturing. We are supposed to be less aggressive. We are supposed to be less protective. We are not supposed to be chivalrous. There is a term call toxic masculinity that has spread like wildfire and it does not seem to be slowing down.
The problem is when we try to turn men into women, it actually causes the exact opposite of everything they want. It has been observed that when you try to turn a man into a woman, that they actually become more aggressive towards woman, not less aggressive. Michael Knowles said in a speech that men are not women and part of the crowd went crazy. For all of those born as a man, you are not a woman no matter how much you think you are. Sorry if this offends you, but that is biology.
Now there are some researchers who obviously hate men or think they are better men think that we, men, are angry because we have just realized that we lost power and are coming to grips with that we do not own the world, or we are dealing with unemployment, or we have lost our identity.
I do not own the world, God does. It has and never will be mine. I am fine being unemployed as long as my wife is working. Also, I have not lost my identity. I know who I am and I accept that. There are somethings I would like to change, but it is my choice.
Just so the researchers know, I am angry because I am constantly blamed for everything even though I had nothing to do with it. I am blamed for the gender pay gap which as I recently found out is a complete myth. I am blamed for having testosterone and being stronger and faster than a woman. I am blamed for for the hiring inequality so I am discriminated against to make it more fair. I am blamed when a man decides to rape or become sexually aggressive towards a woman as though I can control another. I am blamed when a man goes on a rampage and kills a bunch of people just because again as though I can control another. How dare I give my opinion on something as though my thoughts are inferior to a woman’s.
Now please understand, my wife does not act this way at all. She encourages me to be a man even though I am sure at some times she wishes I was not.
Also understand, there is a Men’s movement because a lot of men are tired of how we are being treated. Do not think for a minute it is fair, to turn the tables and treat men as though they are an inferior gender, nor is it okay to discriminate against me because I am a white male (double concern in societies eyes). Leave men alone. In other words, do not try to turn men in women, but let men be men. We are not perfect and we do things that woman do not like; so deal with it since women also do things that men do not like. Learn to accept and appreciate our differences.
God created man in His own image and created woman from man to complement man. In other words, we are in this together not as separate genders. A man leaves his parents and becomes one flesh with his wife.
We need, meaning all of us, need to learn to communicate more effectively with each other and we need to learn to do it in a calm manner. We need to accept that God created man and woman differently.
