I've been on this planet almost 31 years in April of 2018. While I know that I haven't seen everything, I know that I've seen enough to have a perspective on this world to formulate opinions and thoughts on what I've encountered and experienced up to this point in my life. It definitely hasn't been easy and a lot of moments have brought on a LOT of disappointing and heart wrenching times. Those alone would make me an clear cut cynic, pessimist, and downright horrible person to be around because of my bleak and dreary outlook on this world. Luckily though, there have been MONUMENTAL, overwhelming happy moments that I've experienced throughout this lifetime, 2 of them occurring in this year of 2017 alone.
Where I'm going with this is that I've seen, known, been mentored, have mentored, and more importantly been friends with some of the greatest men that I've ever met in my life. Some who have inspired me to strive higher, fight longer, keep pushing, never give up, and teach me some of the most invaluable lessons about sports, working, what it means to be a leader, and just life. Those are lessons, friendships, and people that I will cherish now and forever.
There's the flip side of that though. I've also met some of the most horrible, selfish, rude, creepy, rapacious, and just down right TRASH ass men on the face of this damn earth. Men who speak so horribly about women. Who completely objectify women. Who see them as only good for cleaning, cooking, or worse, a fuck and a nut. Hell, sometimes they are all of these things. But sadly, I've also been friends with these types of clown ass niggas, especially when I was coming up during my teenage years. I've seen or heard about some of the horrible things that they've done to women. Used them, left them while they were pregnant, or physically, mentally, and emotionally abused them. Leaked private content that she trusted him to keep safe and to himself, and a whole plethora of disrespectful shit.
This is not to say that I'm some kind of goody two shoes or that I'm not guilty of hurting a woman. I know that I've broken a few hearts before and it's still something that I'm not proud of to this very day. I've always tried to live my life by the Warrior Code. It's something that I pride myself on and it's something that means a great deal to me and how I view this world. Sadly, I am this terrible thing known as Homo Sapien, which means that I'm open to fail and fall short of the vision that I have for myself and the perfect way that I want to live. Aside from how I want to live, there is still this GLARING issue that men have with women. I just want to know one thing. Why? WHAT COULD POSSIBLY be your issue with women? WHY do they need to die because your teddy graham punk ass don't know how to accept the word...no? WHY do they need to be afraid to simply walk past you? WHY do they need to use an entire unspoken code just to get away from your creepy ass? Women should not have to go to the lengths they do to tip toe around telling you no. They shouldn't be forced into giving you their phone numbers because they feel like their safety will be threatened if they don't. They shouldn't have to have to be forced to endure an extremely uncomfortable encounter because she doesn't know if you'll fly off the deep end because you never learned that you cant have everything that you want and desire simply because you have a fucking Y chromosome. They shouldn't be forced to stay in harmful situations or relationships because of the fact that you're controlling and manipulative and she doesn't see a way out.
Men, we simply need to do BETTER. There's no other way to say it or put it. We need to be protecting women. If not for these glorious gifts to the planet Earth, there's absolutely no fucking way in hell any MALE with a Y chromosome would be walking this planet right now, simple as plain. You fucking OWE a woman your very existence. I absolutely fucking guarantee that if myself or ANYBODY walked up to your mom right now and slapped the entire shit outta her, you'll be ready to do anything in your power to either knock me the fuck out or, probably the most obvious answer, kill me or them. Wouldn't expect anything less of you if that was your train of thought. It would very much concern me if you WEREN'T trying to do that. I get that a lot of people don't have the best relationship with their mothers or just down right horrible relationships, but I do know that regardless of that fact, you've encountered some women that have been exceptional in your life. They absolutely deserve to be protected and cared for at all costs.
Men, lets get the shit together. We can protect our precious gifts from the trash of us that we know would want to do them harm. Those trash ass men don't deserve or should never get the opportunity to even get the chance to get close to them. It's almost 2018. It's on us. When you know better, you will want to do better. Let's fucking do better in 2018 in regards to them. We all know a lot of trash ass women, but we also know that an overwhelming majority aren't like that. Protect them at all costs because with the way that shit is going on in this country right now, they are the ones that are on the front lines right now fighting for us. We owe them AT LEAST that much...
