Woman

Mutual respect costs nothing but enhances relationships of all kinds immeasurably!

By Stanley Collymore

 

Lift your voice unapologetically up to the hills; raise a defiant

clamour: triumphant and unambiguously clear, about your

perceived status as a proud female, and simultaneously

and flagrantly let the entire world unequivocally

know that you’re a free woman, unbowed,

unbranded, quite resolute about your selected role as

to who you are and significantly what you want

and are absolutely determined to become;

all conscious decisions of your own

choosing and independently

arrived at by you.

 

In effect and distinctly so, in what’s generally and undeniably

a society of mindless conformists, let it be equally known

that you are a most untypical lady in character with

aspirational goals that are all hers, and not those

speciously or calculatedly devised or even

patronizingly consented to and grudgingly approved

of by some psychologically immature or baneful

misogynistic male, however persuasive or

well-meaning that misogyny might be,

desperately needing to prove to himself his

dubious masculinity or else his non-existent virility;

or worse still who’s aided and abetted by the

supportive artifice of an acquiescent,

female sycophant profoundly influenced into meekly

accepting her purported designated role in society

as a second class citizen, and who emphatically

considers herself to be man’s private property

because, you guessed it, the Bible tells her

so, the status quo endorses that view, and

therefore she firmly believes it to be

true, that she’s man’s spare rib.

 

Well sorry to disabuse you about any of this folks but I’ve never,

don’t, nor will I ever buy that twaddle. And if like me you’re

totally gender confident, conscientious, inwardly as well

as outwardly positive about and committedly forward

thinking in relation to yourself and, attendant with

that, assiduously aspire to comprehensively ditch

the negatives and concentrate instead on the

constructive aspects of your daily life as

you productively forge a redemptive

pathway with regard to being a

singular female and worthy

human being, you too,

I’m categorically

sure, won’t

either!

Commentary:

Nature either created or at least was highly instrumental in the evolution of mankind, and while retrospectively there are those who regard its judgment as deeply flawed there are also others who’re even more censorious in their overall assessment and think that the whole experiment involving human beings should never have occurred in the first place.

 

Whatever! The reality is we’re here: man and woman; two separate and biologically different genders for perfectly obvious reasons, else none of us would exist, fashioned in a way as to be mutually compatible for the benefit and untrammelled progress of both.

 

That there are however serious problems with mankind adhering to this specific roadmap and not achieving these laudable objectives isn’t the fault I believe of Nature or looking at it from a religious perspective God if you like, but rather mankind’s own marked inability to actually grow up, to stop behaving universally like a spoilt brat and as an alternative show the kind of respect both sexes evidently deserve and unquestionably are entitled to have from each other.
