This weekend I fell in love…
…with men.
As opposed to boys, or what I refer to as “Not Men”
I participated in a Workshop called “Celebrating Men and Marriage” and was, once again, reminded about the magic and marvel of the male gender.
As I write this I am indulging in my favorite dirty secret, LIFETIME, finding myself disgusted by the depiction of men in our society. They are not these cheating, greedy, egocentric people but rather extraordinary individuals.
I know many of you are thinking, “Yeah, but what about the guy who….” The problem is those are NOT MEN they are boys. Alas, age is irrelevant when it comes to a man becoming and being a man.
Men--real, healthy men--want to provide for and protect woman. Not just their wives, girlfriends, sister or daughters but all women. I heard a man say today, “A real man will drop everything and be there for you. Please give me space to be what I instinctively want to be.”
A MAN cares about offering safety and security for women which could look like walking you home late a night, checking to make sure your locksmith is good, making sure you did not spend too much on a gift.
Any Penis Person who does not do so is not a MAN; he might have a male body; yet is, indeed, a boy. I have seen 40-year-old who are great examples of 18-year-old boys and 18-year-olds who are great example of 40-year-old men. Ladies, you know the difference and stop waiting for them to grow up.
A number of years ago I dated a man who in many ways was a boy. He had money and all the appearances of an adult; however, he was 40 and hosted keggers that lasted till dawn and often broken up by the police. A cross between the Great Gatsby and Peter Pan, he was a boy in a large man’s body. I waited and waited for him to man up; alas, he never did. I do not regret the time invested or the experience because without it I would not be in the relationship I am in today. Yet, my message is don’t waste time and don’t reward bad behavior. Men acting like boys have little to offer society or you.
And guys, if you are a boy in a man’s body please grow up, be a man and be a provider for the women of the world. I promise you--life will alter.

It sounds like you missed the point of the seminar. You now have more ammo to make men in you life wrong if they don't fit your expectations. I hear no understanding, compassion or love for the challenges that men deal with. How does creating a world of "Men" & "Not Men" work for you? I'm sure you can collect a lot of evidence of "Not Men" in the world & continue to create your non-acceptance & hate for others. Good luck with that world view. I can tell you where that leads.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry if this blog came off as hateful at all. Our society has a lot of misconceptions about men and I wanted to celebrate men being men--not boys and not hairy women. I love men.
