It's been said that when you educate a man, you educate a man but when you educate a woman, you educate a nation. So true, so true. The things men are taught as children are very different from the things women are taught. I'm not just talking about the general crap either like it is women's work to cook, clean and take care of the children. I'm talking about more subtle differences as well like how girls are taught to be ladylike and lovely. We are taught to take care of our man/son/father. Boys on the other hand get an education based on one main principle. "Boys will be boys." Huh? That's some real bullsh*t right there.
But after analyzing it, I realize that those lessons learned as kids create a lot of confusion for us as adults. Those double standards are why those irresponsible boys grow up to be irresponsible men. They are the reason that Steve Harvey is gettin rich telling us how to think like a man but act like a lady. It is why we women buy clothes and food and keep a roof over our heads but go through life without ever really living. Well ladies, to hell with that. This right here is an invitation to life! If you're not afraid, come on in.
Til tomorrow... Peace - two fingers, one love!
I think that you have several points, Tie.
