I was watching a video by a Youtuber (posted below) who was speaking on the statement “Women Today ain’t like the Women of Yesterday”. The male speaker asked the following questions, “How can someone make that statement when the women of yesterday weren’t allowed/didn’t have a voice? How would the people of today even know how the women of yesterday felt or thought, when they didn’t even KNOW them? Never listened to them?” Surprisingly, or not so surprisingly, his questions brought on an onslaught of negativity from “today’s” fellows who were basically saying the speaker was “whipped”. It was almost unbelievable some men felt he was being less just because he was standing up for women and their rights as true partners within a relationship. *Note I said it was “almost unbelievable”!
A man who feels he has to rule with an iron fist, in my opinion, at the most, has issues with his own manhood and at the least, is a dictator. A man who cannot accept a woman’s contribution to the relationship is foolish in that he would rather settle for a foundation that is only half as strong as it could be, just to satisfy his ego.
All of this to say, Fellows…when your woman has a skill, talent or opinion, accept and listen! Take what she has to say into consideration and don’t automatically dismiss it just because you feel YOU have to be the final say. Taking what she has to offer and contribute, in fact, makes you a much wiser counsel, in that you would look into ALL suggestions and options, and then choose what’s best for you all! No, her strengths do NOT make you weaker… but it can make you both stronger. ~Toodles!
