We are not all equal.

I don't know about you, but I am so tired of everybody trying to be everybody else. I am sure that I am not alone. What is with this desire to be so universal? Where has the glory and pride of individuality gone?

One of my biggest peeves is the notion that men and women are equal. Even a child would be able to look at you and tell the difference right off. It starts with the voice. A man's voice is strong, stern, or at least should be, unless his gender changing therapy is advanced. A woman's is soft, kind, and it should be. She was made by our creator to be a nurturer.

A man is strong, stronger than most woman. This is a physical trait that I am sure some are trying to change through bio-genetics. Oh well, why not. We have screwed up everything else, it should work!

Women for the most part think with their hearts. They are emotional beings firstly. Men think with their heads. (Never mind, ladies.) Really. Men are thinkers. Not always clearly, but we aren't always concerned that getting 'this or that' will hurt, we just go about 'getting' it, whatever it is.

Personally, I think I missed out growing up without a father. My mother did her best, but she was no father. Simple as that. She was a mother. She could noever replace a father. A boy needs a man to be a role model, to teach him how to be a man, how to treat women, respect your elders and those around you (especially women). A boy needs to be hugged and held by a loving dad so that he doesn't fear intimacy. But he also needs to rough house with Pa, and not always be coddled by Ma. Mom can't do the male bonding thing real well.

Little girls need their Mommies. They need to learn about the facts of life, menstruation, dating, love, marriage, politeness, properness. (Oh, so outdated am I. Gratefully.) They need to learn how to mend a broken heart, how to be courted. They just ought not be splitting wood with their Daddy's axe.

So men, raise your son's to be honorable, and your daughter's to be chaste. They will both thank you one day. And people, for the love of God, don't try to get your son's wearing dresses. It doesn't fit their design, and you will only confuse them more than the world already is. If you haven't noticed, the world is so busy making everyone equal, that the whole place has become unbalanced.
