A strange observation I want to add here, a lot of men grow up and die with this exaggerated faith that they are meant to be the beast, though I agree with the article in all its merits, in that it is both well written and often true, I disagree with the whole message of the post.

I think it only serves to distance or divide the sexes; there is already too much literature out there that proclaims men and women are planets apart and that all that is vile or corrupt must naturally be a mans inheritance.

I believe that there is a silent change that is occurring in the men’s world, identities and roles are changing, men are becoming more open to a different existence, some are no longer being defined by the stereotypes they are believed or expected to play. The sad thing though is that a woman’s emancipation was supposed to pave way to mans own emancipation but women though willing enough to take their freedom from the stereotypes that men seek to impose on them are often more reluctant to let go of the stereotypes that they in reverse expect of men. I fear that this will only push the sexes further and further apart, men will now be the ones who feel misunderstood and burdened by their sex.

A man, who is weak, is still told “to be a man” a man who is sweet is still thought of as “too girly” and a man who is nice still thought of as the whimp. Too many stereotypes too less an effort at understanding each other and so I fear we will ever remain in fear or illusion of one other.

The feeling that I walk away from reading that post and all the additions to it is that even now we are reluctant to shed the egos and work together in offering solutions to each others plights.

A.G had to say all of the above because honestly felt it! Pls don’t think less of me : )
