The Power Of Respect

The cultural assumptions that men often make in their heads about women whom they find very attractive- are often diminishing- not only about the women but also about themselves as well- which might begin to illustrate why, so often, men are reduced to monosyllabic expressions or declarations of desire- with no consideration for the impact it might have.

As a man, I call on my Brothers- my Kings – to begin to talk to all women coming from a different mindset. Perhaps, create some new assumptions that allow for not merely acknowledging women as a way or an “in order to”- to achieve their short term goal- one that many never actually realize- and which only widens the gap between the sexes.

Perhaps men- let us begin to create something different-for example, a way of beginning to see what else is admirable or interesting about women…Suppose we bring a sense of respect to how we approach this- there will more than likely be respect returned. I like that prospect.

And, if your boys think this makes you a punk or soft- start hanging with men. You never know…anything is possible.
