Dear Feminist,
A few years ago I heard you
speak about how the world is so unfair to women and the need for more roles for
women in the corporate world, you spoke of how women are used as foot-mats by
men and how science shows that women are better managers than men.
I listened to you say that
men are equal to women in the society and you even go on to insinuate that the
women do more than the men in today's world because they are mothers and career
women at the same time.
You spoke of how women are
more faithful than men and often times in decision making have a better judgement.
You spoke of how the present man’s world have failed us and how the women
should be given the chance to fix what we the men have changed. You gave
classic quotes like
What a man can do, a woman can do better.
Behind every successful man, there is a woman
A woman is the home builder.
And the likes.
I agree with lots of
your words and for a fact, I have great regard for the leading women in today's
world. However, I must point out some flaws in your statement.
1. The man is not equal to
the woman.
2. A woman alone is not the
home builder
3. Women do not need more
roles in the corporate world and the men do not as well
4. like it or not it’s a man’s
world (that’s just the male chauvinist in me talking)
If you believe in God or you’re
an atheist, He created mankind male and female and called the woman a help to
the man. If there was no need for the man he'll have created them female and
female or vice versa. But because, the
man is different from the woman he created it so and made them think
differently, react differently and speak differently. In the scheme of things
therefore, we need each other.
An organisation with two
leaders is usually soon to divide, that's why every organisation always needs a
leader. Someone needs to be responsible for the family and I dear say it's the
man based on biblical principles and several other reasons. I say this because
he is stronger than the woman, he is the one who is called to die for his wife
and children. He is what I call a servant leader. Not the male chauvinist ruler leader
presented by those on the other side. If he leads, he does so not out of a need
to fill his ego, it's out of the sense that he wants to protect,serve,take care
of and love you. So respect Him for that and you'll see just how much he will
love you.
Statistics have shown that
kids without a father figure are more prone to domestic violence and other
criminal vices. He or she needs a father, a father that shows him that just
because he is stronger doesn't mean he has to lord it over or bully whoever is
weaker, a father that shows that to be head is to love and to provide for his
own. He or she also needs a mother that will show that doing a lot of work in
the house doesn't translate to being a slave, but that a king and a Queens role
is to serve her subjects not the other way round.
Today's world places a lot of
economic demands on families. The man
and woman have to work to keep it together.
However, if we are all out there working what happens to our children,
how can we show them what it means to be a father and husband as well as wife
and mother. We can't leave them to social media, TV and the likes. The world is
not all economics and today, we seem to be growing in the economic front but
are losing it at the social front.
We need to live balanced
lives. A balanced life is one that sees the need for the man and the woman to be at home. A
balanced life is one that sees that being in charge gives me the responsibility
to love more and being the woman gives me the responsibility of showing respect
and submitting and does not make me any less of a being.
My dear feminist. We all need
each other. And that's the message we need to pass across to our kids who someday
will be in our shoes.
With the deepest love
Your Male Chauvinist.
