Have you disrespected, abused (mentally and physically), lied, decieved and hurt people you loved? At least, have you seen somebody crying and suffering because of burdens and pains that came from somebody they loved? I am sure that you will say "yes." And remember that you and I can change and become a better human. I am taking women's study class now. I have been reading and learning about relationship between men and women. I didn't know 1 out of 4 women lived under demostic violence where they were battered and abused sexually by their husbands, boyfriends and even strangers. I was waiting for the bus to come in town like 2 days ago and looking at people around me at the bus stations, thinking that out of every 4 women, one has a horrible life. Just thinking about hurt me. Because it often says that men have to be strong, violent, and tough to be considered real men. When something wrong happens, men have to beat and fight to solve problems. When you make somebody's life horrible, you become less human. I remember my mom says " There is an only difference between a wild animal and human. Human uses its brain and logic, if you don't use it, you are nothing more that a wild animal." And i agree with that. So, every man who is reading my poor reading, please don't think that you have be violent and tough to be real men, you can be emotional, sensetive and loving to be real men. You can cry, talk, and share like women do. Do you know why because you are human as well. You still gonna be men. Better men.
On the other hand, one thoughts just flashed through my mind when I was in my Women's Study class, I saw all these raped, battered, hopeless, valueless women in movies we watched. Heart-breaking, sometimes, my tears just rolled down on my cheecks. They were hard to watch. All students were hating men for what they saw in movies we watched. I did too. Nevertheless, excluding women in Africa, Middle East, and other patriarchal countries, women need to learn how understand men too. Because men struggle so much mentally and don't express them (cuz they don't want people call them emotional or weak which is wrong) they accumulate their anger, hostile, and feelings until the bad day they are going to explode. I am generalizing here, but most women complain about their lives, talk too much, want everything, yell at everyone around which makes men super depressed. Even though women suffer more than men, I believe we can't just blame men for violence that happens to women and men. Women also need to help men to open up their feeling to them and support them. I know from my experience, when you hear your brother or boyfriend finally open up to you and share all the things that added up to their mentality, it hurts you so much to know about their experiences and learn how much pressure they carry with them as well. Let your brother, boyfriend, and husband talk to you and you understand them. Trust them, they need help, they just don't act like they okay and say " I don't wanna talk about it" because they don't wanna be weak. You know what, encourage them to be open to you. And you understand them better. There will be less voilence, less tears, less animals, and more humans.
