I love feminists! They make some real amazing points sometimes.
Kudos to every feminist out there. It’s a lot of work.
So, I have been a handy female for years. Since I was 12 years old, I could fix door knobs, fix the sink, and change the bulbs and
more. If it’s a problem that could be solved using a hammer, screwdriver,
knife, or nails, I got it!
I have an older brother so, I learned!
There was this one time the DVD player stopped working, it was
a three disk DVD player. After a little investigation, I concluded that there
must be a misplaced disk in the DVD player since the problem all started when
the disks were supposed to rotate. i.e, disk 1 to disk 2…. I’m sure you get a
picture.
So that teenage girl who was barely a girl got down to
business. I opened the DVD player, removed all the disks, re-tied all the
screws and taataa…. It was working perfectly!
There was another time I was doing carpentry work with an
uncle and he was literally stuck! He didn’t know where to place the nail to
give the cage a hold and there I was to the rescue. Thinking about it, I think I
should have studied carpentry. Lol!
Well! I am down for “a girl can do whatever”! I am a living
testimony to that fact. However! Can we just let the men be “MEN”? Honestly!
I am so independent! Very much so that my friends call me
proud sometimes but I don’t think its pride. I just don’t like to bother
people. I feel like everyone has something to deal with already. So, why bother
someone else with my own issues? It’s not pride, just exaggerated consideration
for others. SMH
Anyway!
I was talking about being independent yeah? It is the best
feeling in the world!
Then, there is the feeling of what I am about to describe….
The feeling of “wow! This person is so considerate towards
me” or just some sort of….. Foreplay!
Couldn’t find another word.
There is something about a “man” being a “man”.
Men like to come to a woman’s rescue. Like “oh! She has a
bulb problem, let me fix that”
I don’t have a problem fixing my own bulb but, if my
boyfriend or husband was doing it, I would gladly take a sit very close to him,
sipping orange juice from a glass and just enjoying the sight.
Okay! Imagine a mother of three boys 9-15 years of age in
the middle of the day, just got the kids back from a Saturday hang out, she had
cleaned, washed some clothes, done the dishes, gone grocery shopping, super
exhausted and boom! The sink is leaking.
This woman is already frustrated so, do you think she will appreciate
a little help with the sink? A little bulb fix, a little assistance with the
grocery bags, a little help opening the door? Come on!
These things though little mean so much! Like I said, it’s
like foreplay… seriously!
It’s not about being romantic or not doing these things
because they are manly. No!
I love the feminists, but please… let men be men!
I won’t tell a man “get the door for me”, help with the bags
or “help with the bulb” Hell no!
If you don’t have common sense, your cup of tea. But if you
do, I won’t stop you because I can do it myself, I would let you do it! Let’s all
have fun.
BTW, there is just something unique about submission. It’s not
slavery, it’s not being voiceless or powerless especially in marriage. It is a divine
arrangement for everybody’s benefit. People who think submission is slavery or
stupidity are actually shallow minded in my opinion.
Not that I will gladly end up with a man who says “you can’t
wear make-up or trousers” because we gon have some serious issues and that is why
before we get there, we must have talked about it, drawn up a conclusion and
agreed to move forward. No stupid surprises!
Like how was I when you met me? Hahn?
That’s why we’re not going to rush it in the first place.
In every functional body, there is a head. Have you ever
seen a man with two heads? I’m just saying!
Call me old school!
Call me religious!
Call me whatever but, don’t say misogynist just say… realist!
PS: these are just my thoughts!
Lol!
With love
