"All Men Are Dogs"

I'm sick and tired of hearing women say "all men are dogs." I'm sorry, not all men are dogs. My man isn't a dog, my father isn't a dog, my brothers aren't dogs and surely my son(s) [if I ever have any] will not be a dog.

Many of us women have sons, nephews or godsons. It's up to us to socialise these young males to become "real men." It is our responsibility to evoke the change we wish to see in the world. So, teach them to cook so they can cook for their girlfriend, teach them to walk on the side of the street closer to traffic, teach to be that gentleman you as a woman desire. Don't hestitate to let him know about menstration, sanitary napkins, and other feminine products, and why knowing about them is beneficial. Sensitize them to women's emotions and cycles. Mold them into "real men."

Another thing is that we women encourage and support men to do stupidness, to act and bcome "dogs." Women, HAVE STANDARDS!! Some fool will tell you "you too picky"...it's not true. It means that you know what you want and expect from a man and are not ready to compromise and settle for substandard or mediocry. This will result in rejection for the "dogs" and hopefully introspection and then change. Don't make it easy for them ladies. Make them work to get you and what you want them to be.

Now, I have to add this little piece here for great men like mine. Ladies, don't just demand demand demand or take take take. No no no. You have got to give in return. Don't nag him or chastize him if he doesn't do things to your liking. Be thankful for what he does and understand that you ought to give him a little tlc or return the favour(s) as best as possible. Don't suck them dry. It's a give and give relationship...not give and take. Why I say this is because the more both of you give and not worry about who's taking the more there is to give.

Give love to yourself first and then you can give love to others.
