Welcome to the gist with Tobi, let me begin the podcast this morning by sincerely appreciating you my lovely listeners for the support and sweet words of encouragement, you guys are amazing.
The world we live in today has made it look like men are not supposed to ever show their weak and emotional side, that men are supposed to display strength regardless of what happens to them, we forget to understand that that these men are also humans, they have emotions and they have blood running through their veins. I believe that if a woman can display her weak emotional side and she is receiving support and accolades then there is nothing that stops a man from receiving the same support. I am a young lady who loves to stand up for the right of other women, I understand that sometimes we are not given a fair and equal opportunity to compete with the male gender and in as much as I am extremely quiet in nature, I cannot just be quiet when it comes to sincerely standing up for the rights of women.
In as much there is a great need for women to speak up and fight for their right, in as much as women deserve all the love and attention they could get, in as much as we want the abuse of the female gender to be completely eradicated, we must also be sincere with ourselves about the way some priorities are clearly misplaced when it comes to the right of fighting for women.
A good number of females have become completely obsessed with the need for attention that they ignore the need for attention from their male counterpart as well. The sort for a one-sided attention has resulted to the ruin of so many relationships, I have heard stories of ladies who believe it is the guy’s absolute responsibility to cater for them and they do not have to do anything in return just because we are supposed to be tagged a weaker gender, that is an extremely wrong idea on every level.
The trend of women who even think they could bring down a man on the terms of the lies they tell about rape is really uncalled for. I must make it clear that I am totally against rape and I believe strongly that anyone caught guilty should be thoroughly punished. But you see this act of trying to bring down a man who has a pedigree on the lies of rape is totally unacceptable as well. There are ladies who try to extort a man for money and the moment he refuses, they begin to bring up allegations about rape when what they had was a consensual intercourse.
Our love for attention has made some of us women completely biased with our judgement, as long as it does not favour the woman in the equation then we regard that situation as being completely unnecessary. I will tell you a quick story to explain the point I am trying to make here: I was been told the story of a woman who maltreats her husband, she is more financially stable than the husband so she practically runs the home and as a result of that, the husband runs every errand in the home. It is so bad to the extent that she sleeps upstairs and the husband has a room downstairs, he washes the cars, prunes the flowers, he prepares the meal and carries out every necessary domestic chores in the house, then he opens the gate for his wife to drive to work while he takes a tricycle to get to his own work place with the second car parked in the house and can only be accessed by the wife.
I was been told this story alongside a very strong feminist who was of the opinion that the man would have done something really terrible to deserve such treatment but of course if the tables were turned, I know she would have called the man all sort of names and say that the woman needed help. Now that we have a man going through the same thing, why do we think it always has to be the man who is faulty? Women are not completely saints either. I know that men have done very terrible things but there are still very good men just the same way there are women who have very terrible attitudes as well.
I really believe that men should also be given a c
