Freedom over Respect?

Have you ever wondered if us women are to blamed for the behaviour of men these days?

Did we create the demons we have to deal with?


Could it go as far back as fighting for rights to vote, to work in certain industries and aspire to be in institutions that are branded as "Men Only". Could it be because we have for so many years fought to be equals, that now men really are treating US just as how they would treat each other?


The sexual polarities have been completely switched, women are taking charge, taking charge of their bodies, speech, opinions and freedom overall. But it seems with this freedom comes the abrasive treatment of the "Modern Gentleman". The "Modern Gentleman" who, doesnt particularly open doors or give you his seat on a bus or hell....even try to find a job.


Is it now that we women, should now be the ones to...offer a shoulder to cry on, pay the bills or rent, stand 2 hours on a bus ride, have a 3 day tracin war on twitter with a "Modern Gentleman"? 


When was the last time a man walked around the car, and open your door first? When was the last time a man held your hand as you walked up/down some steps? When was the last time a man placed his hand gently on your lower back while he allows you to enter a room first?


When was the last time a man made a sacrifice, for your comfort?


Am i wrong, to secretly want to be in a time where...men were strong and manly, a silent force that was revered and respected...while women were delicate flowers to be fawned over and treated with the utmost care?


Is it because with our new found freedom we've become crass, pushy and self-righteous? Are we forcing our strong men to become prissy prancing pussies?


Are we soul sucking dementors hovering over our would-be kings and relieving them of their strengths to build up ourselves?



Maybe we should start letting men be men.
