Why men don’t want a day
THE month of August is dedicated to women the world over annually.
Granted, women the world over claim to be a stronger species, multi-task etc, unlike men, but sadly men are never given any recognition for their roles in the family.
In the eyes of God, men and women are equal, so why is so much prominence given to women for one day?
God created Adam and Eve but some men are finding it difficult to be compatible with women in a relationship or marriage, hence you now find Adam and Steve.
Why is there no Men’s Day? Why is one day not dedicated to men and declared a public holiday? Simply, men are seen as inferior by women, yet a woman wants to be seen around a man as a token. Factually, men don’t desire a separate day to celebrate their species.
A strong man knows how to keep his life in order. Even with tears in his eyes, he will still say: “I am fine,” and continue to provide for and protect his family, even under difficult circumstances and conditions.
I am disgusted to record that on the day women were granted a public holiday, August 9, some women spent their time sending fictitious texts of a derogatory nature on WhatsApp and other social media to other females, bashing men.
Most women are secretive and operate their cellphones with screen locks. If there is nothing to hide, why do women hide their texts and delete after transmitting? This is absolutely disgusting.
Very rarely, if not at all, would you find men texting other men or females, criticising women. I am trying to figure out if this is only an Indian thing.
Recently some men wrote to your newspaper, recording the pathetic state of their loveless marriages, poor bedroom relationships, lack of togetherness, intimacy, and trust as a couple etc.
I am hardly surprised there was no response from any female readers, yet in the POST edition dated August 8-12 featuring Women’s month contributions, some female activists wrote poorly about how badly women are treated by their spouses.
This is generalisation. Not all men treat their spouses poorly. Ironically, the Abused Desk for Men are inundated daily by men who report abusive and constantly nagging spouses, and seek help.
Women, if you are in an abusive relationship or marriage, you don’t need to stay in that relationship. Move on before the end result could be a nightmare.
Men, similarly, if you are in an abusive or loveless marriage or relationship, move on. Relationships and marriages have an expiry date like a car licence disc. GURU SUNDRESAN Priest and Marriage
