UNLEASH YOUR INNER MALE?

I am often times mistaken for an extreme feminist.  Apparently I give off a ‘feminist vybe’ but contrary to popular believe im not a feminist. I don’t seem to share the thoughts of any groups concerning “feminism “.  My thoughts are as follows;

The battle of the sexes is one of the most popular battles in our history. Throughout time remarkable women have put up one hell of a fight to ensure that we females today are able to do some of the things we take for granted such as voting, working outside of occupations such as secretary or nurses. Females today can become doctors, solders even prime ministers. Females have come a long way as a gender as our battle continues.

However where do we as women draw the line? When will we be satisfied? When the men stay at home and have the children and the women go out and work? Feminist don’t seem content with just being on the same level as men they need to be superior or have the roles reversed completely. 

I do believe that females are more than capable of doing the jobs that a man can and should be free to take on any career they want to. However we cannot put aside the fact that the average man is genetically stronger than the average woman. So it would seem logical to give them the heavy lifting. While at the same time females are better at task that needs attention to detail so these jobs would seem to be better suited for females.

Men come under fire for being sexist when they would prefer to work with men in certain circumstances. I have a male friend in the army that came under fire from my female family members when he made a ‘sexist’ comment. he said he doesn’t like when he is stationed with females in his unit. He sees them as a liability in the field because as a man he feels obligated to look out for the female also she takes up time when she is on her period etc. on the surface this may seem a sexist comment but to me it made perfect sense. Because as a woman no amount of military training can overcome what Mother Nature has in store and growing up around a lot of males I can attest to the subconscious feeling of men needing to protect women even when ,they do not need protection.

The feminist views also seem a tad bit hypocritical. I am yet to meet the woman that doesn’t want a gentleman. A man that observes the traditional ‘male roles'.  A man that opens doors and pulls out chairs and picks up the tab at dinner. However women are adamant about abandoning their ‘traditional gender roles’. On countless occasions I have heard women complain about a man that wants her to wash and cook and clean as if she is “his helper”.  How is it that you want a man that does what you expect of him as a man but feel slighted when he expects you do these things. I do agree that it should not be solely your task as the female and he should help out around the house but chances are you don’t want him doing the cleaning anyway because he ‘won’t do it right’.

The men are left confused when females walk around declaring independence and ‘not needing a man’ but they come under attack when they abandon their roles”. Anything men can do females can do it better”, but we walk around complaining that chivalry is dead when they don’t pull out chairs or pick up the tab.  What do you want ?  myself and the male population would like some clarity as to how you would like to be treated. 

This entry is not to discredit the work that our females have done to get us equality but maybe we should find some middle ground instead of trying to become men.
