Its in their brain.
The misogynistic male is such because his neurons are wrapped in entitlement.
And women are to blame.
As women (yes, I am including myself) we cannot continue to reward certain behaviors and ignore other behaviors and somehow magically expect chivalrous men to pop out the ground.
We are sowing seeds of laziness and complacency.
I understand that we are not all the same. We all want different things and have different goals and needs.
But I don't think that any of us want to live in a world where men believe that women are to be sexually abused and silent.
I also don't think most women want to live in a world where their success, independence and assertiveness are declarations of war.
I grew up in the south where the refined young woman was taught to secure a marriage young. You are always to be pretty and submissive. You are to marry above your station (and older than you). You have children and give a man no reason to reject you and you will inherit his wealth when he dies.
This delayed reward style of womanhood has been passed on to a generation that is no longer in the economic strongholds that created the strategy.
Women have more opportunity, rights, and options now that in previous decades. Yes we are still paid less, promoted less and passed over constantly.
But this isn't the 40's and 50's where it was damn near impossible for a single mother to thrive.
I see single mothers not only thriving but bringing others up with them. They are creating jobs, industries and transforming their communities.
Some of these women followed the program. They were pretty, polite, above reproach but the man didn't keep his end up.
Some of these women didn't follow the program at all and got the same result.
I don't think the program works. What works is women expecting nothing less than what is best for them and their children.
As a woman, you cannot live from the fruit of rape, sex trafficking, drugs and other forms of vice and not expect the chickens to come home to roost at some point.
You cannot raise boys in an environment where men are never held accountable and expect him to learn accountability.
If you do not value accountability, I understand that. I just better not ever see you trying to get justice for any crime committed against you.
If you feel as though the weak deserve to be trampled upon then I hope that you put forth you best effort to never be weak. I also hope that you send your children out with bodyguards, they are going to need them.
Men think one way and act another not because of any inherent physiological difference. It is what they are taught.
Their first teacher is a woman. Their first love is usually a woman ( or a feminine energy of some sort). Most men will die having last looked upon the face of a woman.
Don't want a world of dusties? Stop rewarding dusties.
Don't want a world of rapists? Stop protecting rapists.
Don't want a world of child molesters? Stop acting like you don't know who they are and what they did.
Its true what Beyoncé said in that song. We do run the world but its time for us to become women.
