MAN STUFF:
Today I saw various pics in groups I belong to of supposedly single women. Quite a few had the question "smash or pass?" One in particular was posted by a really physically beautiful Sister. My response? To paraphrase my response was it depends or whether you're trying to build or just satisfy an itch, cause I'm trying to build. Is it out here for everyone or someone special? Yes you are fine, but I need more. Needless to say, this was not the same response that post and others like it generated.
Brothers, we must stop OUR thirsty behavior online. Everytime we like a pic of a female with her a-- and breasts out we condone her thinking she is predominately, if not solely, valued because of her body; that its ok to exploit her body even if it dehumanizes her; that the beauty of her physical is more important than that of her mind and Spirit; that sex and lust are our driving forces and not healing, family and re/building our community.
Let me be clear; sex and thinking someone is sexy are not the problems. Sex is natural, beautiful and if done properly can be healing. What's wrong is the reduction of our Sisters (and for ladies the Brothers), mothers, cousins, aunties to their body parts; us acting with pure animal lust as if we are beasts not men, our lack of accountability for our actions and our failure to accept the responsibility for whatever consequences our actions cause (children, etc). Today let us make up our minds to be MEN, to think like MEN, to speak and write like MEN and to ACT LIKE MEN.
BE THE CHANGE YOU SEEK IN OUR COMMUNITIES.
