"You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger darling."
-Eames, Inception
WANTED:
Man considers himself as a superior gem,
His equal partner, woman, he does condemn.
He wants to establish control over her,
Her life, her breath and her whisper.
Though man is totally free in this world,
Her freedom, he considers to be absurd.
Woman anytime he can maim or kill,
Or, change her thoughts at his free will.
He disdains them as second class citizen,
Considering them only their object of fun.
Remember man, you are fed by one woman,
And another will become your better half human.
Break the walls of disparity in your mind,
Be a real man, treat a woman kind.
Intro:
Normally, I lean in to avoid reviewing in such ways. I avoid particular writings with good sense, cause as a bonafied reviewer (which I done made myself here on this site,) my job aint to debate nothing, its just to review. It takes a certain something to perk my ears up. So if I got a dog in the fight, which I do in this case, Id be plum disappointed in myself if I aint say nothing. Being from the Church, and in youth ministry, this concerns me- being a man, it continues to concern me. Miss Lurie is one of my favorite folks here, and I get a kick out of her intelligence. So lets get this going- I also avoid political writings, which this do count as one, and Ill explain why...
Review:
Lets Begin-
This writing is bold. Bold is good. The opener got some fact to it:
Man considers himself as a superior gem,
His equal partner, woman, he does condemn.
Yall know what? IM even disappointed in men. It can be easily said thats why things go south. Men were created to be honest leaders. Examples. Now yall look around, and we can easily see the effect of poor leadership. The author makes this an interesting point; and its valid. When men refuse to be MEN, other than s*xual immorality, its a fast as a prairie fire way to a decaying society. Thats why a lack of fathers in households can easily be attributed to crimes, etc. I REALLY like the fact that the writer states women are equal to men...Cause...THEY ARE. God created man and woman EQUAL, but with differences: Men are stronger physically, women are stronger emotionally; but there aint no superiority, just DIFFERENCES. Man and woman are supposed to work together, supplying what other traits the other is lacking- this is a Divine purpose. So yes, the writer is correct as far as the view society tries to project- this is a fact... But Truth and fact aint the same. The author points this out from the porch; its in KNOWING this, that sets this writer ahead of most women empowerment authors. Most start off in a horn tossing mood about the issue, but aint ever place THEMSELVES equal to men. They can talk a storm up about things being unfair, but they aint ever mention being equal themselves; its either oppression or FAR feminism. Its like sharing the gospel: If YOU aint believe it, how you figure others gone believe it? Just saying. In the opening piece, the writer mentions men condemn women...This is also fact- Just to gone and get this out the way, SOME men do (I had to mention that.) These are the same 'men' who aint lead right. It says alot about a man who gets yellow about strong women...It proves they are weak men. That ego that some men got is concerning.
The next block:
He wants to establish control over her,
Her life, her breath and her whisper.
Is also a fact, but aint so much as in foreign countries. Even though America got some jerk men, some other countries REALLY view women as property. This done always been a HUMAN thing...God aint EVER intend for it to be. If folks look at the Old Testament, ISRAEL added laws, and folks always want to mention a certain scripture in the New Testament...We ALL know it- That was written for church order, cause that particular church had ALOT of problems. I hate how the view of things in life is fed to folks. Even current issues are fed through politics. What they do is, they target the youth cause they are more tending to emotions. It harder than p*ssing up a rope getting the truth to most youth cause they done got fed this stuff, and most of their thought life is filtered through it. As I was reading, I couldnt help giving Miss Lurie credit...Shes alot smarter than most adults I know...
The writer takes the fight to us, and that aint EVER wrong. Its good to have opinions; its bad to aint respect them. I got fullblown respect for this writer as a whole, so aint no need of mentioning it. What I hope is that obviously Miss Lurie notices flaws in society; and aims to be above, and aint sucked into it. The bullet points in this writing are impressive. Its almost like she took it all on at once. The follow ups to each problem gets stronger. The author brings up this interesting point:
Though man is totally free in this world,
Her freedom, he considers to be absurd.
Its interesting, cause I see the angle, but I had to wonder just HOW free men are if they go treating women like this...Its the truth that sets people free, and if men are going around with THIS mentality, they aint free at all.
Miss Lurie just 'went for it' in this block:
He disdains them as second class citizen,
Considering them only their object of fun.
Ah, yes...The age old problem of men s*xualizing women. Aint no REAL man do this, but once again, the writer makes a valid point. This goes on more than aint; and if men aint do this to women, WOMEN do this to themselves. Its funny how we got some 'Hollyweak' (Hollywood) women out there who PROMOTE selling themselves, and aint nobody say no nothing. With this out here, Im mad that more men AINT against this stuff. Can yall IMAGINE the impact that would happen if MEN took over the prolife movement? Or if men would openly condemn things like 'Playboy' and 'Victorias Secret?' THATS how men are suppose to use their power. Read that again, Ill bold it for yall- Men are suppose to protect women and children. Most folks aint say nothing about 'Vicky Secrets,' but I do...Its just soft core p*rn...
Back to creation:
God made women awesome- Ask Him: I LITERALLY think woman is His greatest creation. Men are visually 'turned on,' while with women theres more to it. Women are 'turned on' by communication, character, sacrificial leadership, etc...But just cause women are physically attractive, aint mean for men to treat them as objects. That s*xual view is suppose to be aimed at mens wives; not as a object thing, but when the woman has completed the man in marriage. If men aint s*xually attracted to their wives, something done gone wrong. How important is this?: Thats why if men take in p*rnographic images, that picture stays with them. It enters a part of the brain thats set aside for wives in marriage. Men watch p*rn and go to strip clubs cause they are misusing that part of the brain- Its an EVIL use. Women are intelligent things; and they got a whole gaggle of other qualities other than appearance. Got a problem? Go ask a woman. Men dont communicate so good about personal stuff, which, is ANOTHER problem we need to fix amongst ourselves- But its funny, though...Men will 'open up' their feelings to women, but not to other men...INTERESTING how God set that into motion...Hmmm...One of the powers of women...Told yall we equal, we just got different power.
This is my favorite block:
Remember man, you are fed by one woman,
And another will become your better half human.
Enough said.
It ends with yet ANOTHER fact:
Break the walls of disparity in your mind,
Be a real man, treat a woman kind.
I tell teens this ALL the time. I want young men to be MEN, and the young ladies to be respectful of themselves. I dont tolerate the bull. Its one of my most SERIOUS times, other than these times, teens tend to just treat me like a smart teen, which is nice. I set an example; everything I tell THEM, I DO. I promote certain dating guidelines that I keep at the same time. Young men are to be decent, respectful, and be strong, compassionate leaders. Young ladies are to be decent in how they carry themselves, and aint to settle for a guy UNLESS he respects them. I tell the girls to set the respect bar for themselves, and to demand respect in dating. While those who aint want to do nothing but blame 'society' or how times done changed, I took the clock and rewinded it back to were results were seen. I brought back tradition, and the teens LOVE it cause its new to them and aint taught nomore. My mom is from the traditional south, and they dont play with these things.
In closing:
Always fun reading this writers posts on the feed, and reading her works. Shes intelligent, strong, and opinionated- Each point brought up was fact, so it aint seem as just some rant, and I appreciated it. When there aint no facts, and its all feelings, there aint no point to it. This was a passionate writing, and I understood each point-these ARE problems women face. I encourage the writer to date wisely, if she is; and aint settle for the same subject she wrote about- Somebody this smart should only date a young man with intentions on being a REAL man.
Review Tip #4: Well-rounded reviews include both positive and negative comments.
Thank God I aint ever aim to be one of these "well-rounded" folks any d*mn way...
