A Fallen Race (4)

These women have been getting the short end of the metaphorical stick for way too long, and for what?
Because they have different organs? Because of some misinterpretated words of sacred scripture?
Because they look different?
They deserve better; society, religion and culture have done them dirty and it's up to us; Kings of the new generation, to right this terrible wrong.
This might involve some small amount of unfair favouritism but it's long overdue and doesn't even begin to make up for millennia of discrimination, at this point we're past giving them their fair share.
History is littered with the oppression and violation of the women folk, they've given so much and gotten next to nothing in return.
We gats end this cycle of acrimony, this moronic paranoia of them taking over the world and this it's us against them mentality, cause it's a double edged sword that shows the recognition of our supremacy over them and validates the entire feminist struggle.
Now more than ever, it needs to; scratch that, it MUST sink into the very core of our being that we are not only EQUALS but created EQUAL.
We all want a better world, but that can't happen if more than half of humanity is viewed and treated as lesser beings, we will never know true peace until we see one another as equals.
All this might sound near impossible given the insurmountable level of patriarchy, but a journey of a thousand miles begins with a step, it starts with you and me.
By speaking out; wherever and whenever we see any form of gender based discrimination
By making them understand that they're no longer alone in this struggle, making them see that they don't need to come at us to get what's theirs
It's no longer us against them but all of us against an extremely fucked up social institution.
By being what we were originally made to be; defenders, partners, protectors, strength and comfort to them.
But most importantly by raising the next generation right, teaching them the right values, doing away with all these stupid gender roles and gender based fallacies that continue to encourage stupidity and propagate ignorance. We might be damaged goods but there's alot of hope for the next generation.
Together we can fix this, but only together, because that was the original plan, man AND woman rather than versus.

N.b: my sincerest apologies for any mistake or error or insult that may be found in this write up, las las I'm a man of my generation and for that a product of a failed society, but most importantly a man, there's only so much I can relate to.
Thank you for understanding.

The Living Death (2 of 2)

  This Living Death is the reason why you see so many unhappy married people over 40. They're shells of their former selves. Where light and warmth used to be, now there's only cold bitterness and anger. The places where mirth and joy used to abound aplenty have been laid to waste with heavy darkness and vast emptiness. They have little or no joy to give, so they look for happiness in all the wrong places. In money, alcohol, drugs, vices and hedonism. They love things and use people rather than the other way around. They've lost sight of who they are and all that they used to love. So now they walk around like deathly wraiths, spreading gloom and misery to all who they come in contact with; their homes are ground zero for the mini pandemic that is their existence. This phenomenon isn't exclusive to marriages; it happens in romantic relationships too. People lose and find themselves in love. Especially that first love, the overwhelming desire to keep that person makes us...

The Darkest Night

You think you understand suffering; of all kinds and types, that you can relate to every form of pain and your empathy is as vast as the ocean But the thing is until you've been through the same dark hole you'll never truly understand You haven't even begun to scratch the surface of what it means to be in that type of hell It's so messed up cause you don't even know how you'll react until it happens You think you'd brave but few minutes in you're weeping uncontrollably Or you expect a cry baby but somehow you manage to soldier on and not shed a tear, you keep moving, emotionless Sometimes you just freeze up; unable to act or make sense of the situation, cause in truth the worst kind of suffering is the one that's completely unexpected It's in these moments that we see ourselves for who we truly are, these highly unanticipated moments that hit us hard and sweep the rug from under our feet When you feel like things are as bad as they ca...

The Living Death (1 of 2)

 One of the scariest things about the concept of marriage as a lifetime commitment is what I call 'The Living Death'.  This is basically losing a part of yourself due to certain circumstances. The living death isn't just exclusive to marriage. Over the course of our lives, there are certain parts of ourselves that die. Like a snake that sheds its skin, over time we lose habits and aspects of our personality, some more prominent than others. These changes define us and form our sense of self and personality over time. And like any death, the grief we feel over these losses differs based on how prominent these aspects of our personality were; sometimes we don't recognise these deaths until months and years later, and sometimes we never do. The thing with most of these deaths is that for most of them, it's unintentional; they happen because of indirect external influence or change in preferences. Take sagging, for example. For most kids, they sag during their teens thr...
