Dec. 6, 2010  Men answer phones at home, drive, take out the garbage and take the lead in the bedroom. What do women of today still want men to do? Let’s take a check on what men still cannot do. Men can still not exhibit the full range of emotions that women can do and still do. So men are still restricted to emotional boundaries. For example men are still not allowed to come apart at the seams when things don’t go right. Most liberated heterosexual women still want their men to “man up” in situations women do not have to adhere to and can still feign as part of being exclusively female. It’s so amazing that we have to give up so much ground socially and economically but we have to hold up the antiquated archetype of masculine strength when women can simply fold their tents and cry. It’s time for us to take a page out of the female bible of emotional independence. Women have a virtual free pass on emotional expression. Men do not and of course that is changing but not fast enough. The double standard has to end and it has to end now. The gender gap has narrowed considerably but only when it’s convenient and profitable monetarily and socially by our distaffed counterparts.
It’s not just about emotion it’s also how we can ditch the competitive mind that we were forced to wear growing up and had drilled into our heads by our well intentioned parents. Competition leads to the dog eat dog world theory that creates the unnecessary stress that winds up killing us prematurely, and our call back to ashes. We have the power to change the competitive mind to the creative mind. It takes the world of scarcity and transforms it to a universe of abundance. Men can become liberated and still hold doors open for women if they’re so inclined. By the way women still love that.
I seem to see life through the lens of metaphors that show up whenever I am moved or connected with the deeper meaning of life in front of me. My style humorous in one layer can move you to tears or have you nodding "yes" as you sidle up to the emotions in you. My explorations delve into the human condition as it relates to fragmented relationships, blended family challenges and any form of the addictions that plague us. I won't try to tell you what to do or give you 10 easy steps or even point you in the direction I think you should be headed. Rather it is my wish that you take longer looks at the areas of your life you only gave fleeting glances to.
