To get right to the point, it is past time to set aside the discussion or struggle, or whatever it is called between men and women about equality, equalisation, compensation, or anything. I despise watching women suffer unjustly and needlessly under the pretext of being the lesser sex.
Being called the weaker sex is very bad, but accepting the notion that “I am a woman, and vulnerable, so I need to be considered in so many ways, give me what I deserve (or what I do not deserve), not on the account of ability or merit, but on the account that I am a woman,” is the worst notion ever.
The world is unfair to women, no doubt. We all know that at least. It was International Women’s Day some months ago, and in the same month, we had Mothering Sunday, another holiday to celebrate these beautiful creatures during the Women’s Day, Mother’s Day, Mothering Sunday, Day of the Girl Child e.t.c. Such injustice!
Anyway, it is beautiful to see that in celebration of these wonderful creatures, the street of social media was lit full of engagement and properly filtered images of this great being. Awesome stuff, as we should break the biases, because it is so unfair to see so many takes and thoughts on the lives of these creatures when it seems as though everyone has liberty.
Oh, liberty I said – I meant otherwise, because we all must have forgotten what that means. Thanks to the human rights privileges we have enjoyed till this moment and social media for doing the Lord’s work in protecting our dignity as humans and even women.
Anyways, even though we all agree that a day is not enough to celebrate these powerful creatures, we at least all honoured the day and celebrated them in full gleam, advocating for better representation, showering gratitude and praises for their role and those are all beautiful to see.
But, you know, boys are stones. Men are scum. To be a male is to be strong and never a prey. So we can all agree that whatever role (as a father, brother, son or husband), the male gender play is almost unimportant and can be easily replaced. What a man can do, a woman can do better, innit? Isn’t it that men are always guilty, so why should we hear a side of their story?
I don’t know what I was searching for on the web that got me the result of international days for men. So really? Does such thing exist or was just created, does that even matters? But who on earth told the men that they can be celebrated too? Why do they have to be celebrated when they have nine lives and have never used one to make this one world a better place.
Anyways, regardless of who brought about that, we should celebrate it and as per your unpaid and unsolicited adviser that I am, here are some suggestions to help us celebrate our men nicely on the international days created for them too.
Firstly, we’ve all agreed celebrations are meant for reflection.
What is the importance of any celebration you have without reflecting on the important things that have happened?
So, my dear, don’t forget to remind all men in your life of their ills and wrongs, which enhances deep reflection more than anything else. Yes, remind them that men are scum, that they are the sole contributors to every menace going on in society, and that they’re too demanding, despite doing nothing to be responsible. Remind them, preach it to them and help them reflect better. Read More…
