Wow, the Genesis huh? The messes I get myself into...I guess I have to say something truly enlightening now. Okay how about this, true character is developed from trauma. It's a true statement... So anyway here we are on this quest of enlightening, this journey to fix all the world's problems. Take our dreams and make them a reality right? Probably not...my goal...to be heard. For all the single fathers who never had anyone but family and friends for support, if they even had that. For all the husbands that thought they were doing the right things, for men who are maybe still happily married with or without children of their own, who are fed up with this Disney force fed idea that all men are supposed to be princes, and all love stories are fairy tales... The reality is they aren't, now I'm not a bitter guy. Sure I've been dealt a rough hand but all in all I know I wouldn't be writing this if I hadn't gone through everything that I've experienced up to this point in my life. Yes, true love exists, it has to because we believe it in our own minds. Yes, we should go out of our way to treat the women we love in our lives like the princesses they are. However, this idea of equality is drastically skewed in the direction of overcompensation... Should girls be allowed to play baseball, or football...of course if they can perform as well as the boys can than absolutely. Should women be allowed to be police officers, firefighters or paramedics? 100% yes, but again as long as they can pass the same basic requirements we hold men too. Sure you may want to argue with me but I assure you that somewhere right now there is a 300lb man whose house or apartment building will eventually catch fire, now you be honest with yourself...can a 130lb woman save his life on her own, maybe... Do you trust your life with a maybe? Keep in mind these are just opinions in a blog written by someone who may be under qualified to make astute observations. I will say this much though if we as a society want racial, gender, sexual, or religious equality then why do we accept overcompensation? How is it fair that girls can play on a boy's baseball team, but a boy cannot play on a all girl's softball team? How is it fair that we want racial equality however every time you fill out a job application or a college application those questions exist? I'm simply asking questions that surely have crossed your own mind once or twice...nothing new, and honestly there are probably more questions that I haven't asked that you are probably wondering about now that you have read this far. Webster's Dictionary defines the word equality as such; -the quality or state of being equal : the quality or state of having the same rights, social status, etc. How equal are we though when as a society we accept inequality as the norm for supposed retribution or balance? I'm interested to hear all feedback positive and negative... Thank you for reading *Please remember that all statements made are not the opinions or beliefs of the writer.
