So a friend shared a blog with me and asked me what I
think of this guy. While I think it very
refreshing that men like this are still out there the comments that were posted
on his blog leave me wonder where we as women went wrong.
From generation to generation we keep thinking we are
redefining ourselves but with each generation we lose a little of ourselves in
the process. So here is my take on it.
We were created the way we are – whether some like refer
to us as “the weaker sex” or “the fairer sex” we are nonetheless the ones that
nurture while the men protect. My mother always said it is not a sin to have
someone around who does things for you but you must first know how to do it for
yourself so that you are not a slave to a situation. At the time she was making sure I knew how to
change my tires should my car have a flat.
She also insisted that I knew how change my light bulbs etc. but this
same woman also insisted I took grooming classes. Today I am a well-rounded woman who would
enjoy having her man open the door for her (were
I to have one) or pull the chair because I am secure in who I am.
I do believe that as women we do need to revisit what we
define as being Feminist. Could it be
that it’s our own insecurities that we let mar the playing field? Now men feel that “treating us” as equals
they do not need to court us and that causal sex is ok. Am sure there are many more of us crave the
Chivalry that was the norm when our parents where courting.
