AMERICAN MEN - A TARGET OF MEDIA CREATED GENDER DIVIDE
with this article my only aim is to spread love and heal the world.
When GOD created the human race, man and woman walked side by side. As no human is perfect it was bound to be that in all homes (a) man would be good at some things (b) woman would be good at some things......and so it averaged out. I don't subscribe to this psychological babel that a man's congnitive abilities are governed by the left part of the brain and a woman's by the right, a man is the bread earner of the family, a woman's place is in the home and on and on it goes. You get the drift of what I'm getting at - a divide is being created in the minds of averagely intelligent humans as to what or how a man ought to lead his life or for that matter a woman.
These are boundaries being unnaturally created in our minds and if a person does not perform in that direction he is branded as bad/unfeeling, etc , etc. WHEREAS, any human being should be allowed to be himself or herself rather than being stereotyped. This has partly been the reason for breakdown of families in the West/America where a man who...if he did not earn more than his wife, soon found himself without a wife or family.
Who has created this bogey in the minds of right thinking women that just because a man earns less than her, he is not fit to be a good husband or a good father ?? Why has such an absurdity been allowed to carry on for so many years.
If men and women are truly equal ....then it stands to reason that in some homes it may be the man who brings home the bacon and in some the woman. AND when it is the man who does it....everybody self-righteously nod their head in acceptance and is fully accepting of the fact that the woman stays at home, spends her husband's money and in many cases lives a life of luxury.
Then why is it wong if a woman were to earn the money and the man stays home ??
WHY SHOULDN'T THIS BE BE THE ACCEPTABLE NORM TOO ??
In life everything is a cycle, it was the man as the sole bread earner once, now it is the woman's turn and the important thing to remember here is that JUST AS WHEN A MAN WAS THE BREAD EARNER....HE WENT ABOUT DOING WHAT WAS EXPECTED OF HIM ---WITHOUT GRUMBLING OR CREATING A SCENE !!! --- THE WOMEN NEED TO GET DOWN TO DOING THE SAME !!!
