Men Man-up or Watch a Lady do it For You!

Written by Netisha Alie 

For centuries men have had the dominating role in society. Take a trip back to Genesis 1 and check out who The Creator Himself created on the 6th day, after He made everything else and needed a ruler for it all.-Man!

Throughout history men have gone to the moon (if you wish to believe it...), set sail to discover land masses across planet earth, men led revolutions (Martin Luther King...) even the bible has stories of great men chosen to do God's work.

Surely this is by no means a sexist stance, nor am I seeking to imply that woman did not make significant steps in history. However, the main idea here is to establish the role men have held from the beginning of time, and what they are actually doing with it today. 

Ladies, you know we love it when the men fix our cars and do most of the heavy lifting or manual work around the home, while we can look cute giving them a nice glass of lemonade. It doesn't mean we cannot do it ourselves but we see it fitting to let him 'be a MAN' and round up those muscles to do his manly do. 

Truth be told men are viewed as leaders, those who not only lead a household, but lead a community, lead a company, hey! Lead a country or entire region even. They are expected to take charge and do the things that make us woman want to look up to them as mature beings with a great 'head' on their necks. - But what happens when they fail to reach our expectations? What happens when they lie, cheat, deceive, feed off you, compete for most 'baby mammas' and getting the latest car or sneakers when they know they are starving? What do we do? Can we look up to men who have chosen to be more feminine than we are and compete with us for the last pair of skinny jeans on the Sale Rack? 

It is with little wonder that ladies have come to realize that they have to change their oil and tires themselves, because they can't easily find a man who will. They must seek after career and education advancement to be who men fail to be. They must now play the role of mommy and DADDY because daddy is too busy doing everything else but being a father. Ladies must now study the bible and allow God to use them in the church because there aren't enough men to do it. Even at the P.TA  meetings men a fewer in number. Almost every aspect of society now calls for a woman to 'Man-up' and take the place of a man. 

One can choose to say not all men are like this but there are too many who have lost their touch and ladies have decided, we will not fall with you but 'do it for you...' The number of men neglecting their responsibility is beginning to cause concern. Who will teach our boys how they should be? And ladies you may try as much as you can to fill that gap, there are just some things only a FATHER/ MAN can teach a child. 

So then, Men take a brief moment and do some reflection. Are you truly making that contribution to society you were obviously destined to make? Are you man enough? Stop shooting down a lady for doing 'a man's job' when you have clearly chosen to do other tasks, you might as well be the woman. God is certainly calling on His men to rebuild his kingdom, but where are they? 

....Men, Man-up or Watch a Lady do it For You!
