Why is it OKAY for a man to cheat and tell lies to his partner? Why is it OKAY for a man to exert so much control towards his partner? Why is it OKAY for people to see all these traits as OKAY?
With several discusssions had with some people, the reality that has withstood the test of time states that "MOST OF THE TIME, THERE IS NO WAY A MAN CANNOT POSSESS THESE TRAITS UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES". I ask myself why but the answer, i do not seem to understand. Some arguments that i heard that sounded funny to me were the facts that "men do find themselves falling irrespective of how much they feel for their partners but are too helpless to pull themselves away from the situation." Other people say "that men actually do lie to protect the ones they love and also to prevent them from getting hurt." Others concluded by saying " that 98% of the time it is very difficult for men to stay faithful because they were created to be 'men' and women are supposed to be there to help them whenever they fall.
Here are my arguments.
- Can't women be seen for once as human beings? Women have feelings and treating them as puppets for your will as a man shows that you lack respect for their person and intergrity. So always see a woman as a human being first and put yourself in her shoes before you act.
- Promoting the fact that doing the same thing is in the DNA of someone doesn't describe the act as a mistake. In my definition, a mistake is an unintentional act that make a thing(s) go wrong. In the case of what most men do, the notion which is in fact a reality is always intentional.
- Women are not supposed to bear the risk of a man's irresponsibility all the time. If a man truly cares about his partner he would never do anything to intentionally hurt her feelings. I know it is not easy, but if it easy for her then it should sure as hell be easy for you.

- Most of the time the truth might be hurtful but giving your partner that courtesy may help the situation. Quote me on this "A MAN DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIE TO HIS PARTNER." If it was a mistake (once), telling your partner the truth may help in reasonably soughting out the issue but doing it continously and then lying about it only complicates the issue. Eitherways your partner has every right to know the truth.
- Also, it is not okay for a man to refer to himself as 'helpless' or follow the notion that he is always helpless as a way to justify his irresponsibility. There is always a way to solve problems no matter how unrealistic the solutions may seem and bearing the consequences for your actions is one of them.
- Finally, JUST DON'T DO IT. This option is always on the first list in every relationship. The humiliation of having to beg for forgiveness all the time is a very daunting experience especially to the person you love. So why can't men choose this option? I mean, it's safer and quite frankly very easy but men being who they are in my opinion, try too hard to prove themselves and boost their egos so they engage in all forms of irresponsibility.
Therefore, i'd say it is not a MAN'S WORLD because WOMEN live in it too. The man is referred to as the head but without the neck which is the woman, the head would not stand. If the head is not in aggreement with the neck then the whole body would be in trouble. The norms of our society were created and endorsed by human beings and as such can be unendorsed by them. So I believe, men can be respectful, diligent, hardworking and very cooperative towards his partner's feelings and life.

ReplyDeleteWhat you advocate for is quite understandable but i think the world is not ready for it, maybe on paper but till females stop playing victim the chances are quite slim. The world was created this way, play your role, understand your man, know how to tame him and dont look to find logic behind everything.
