If I hear one more woman talk about how she does not need a man, I may lose my mind! As you know, the Don’s Corner speaks for the fellas and to the fellas. Well, this one is for the fellas, and I am speaking to the ladies.
In today’s society, a lot of women are doing better than men, financially. There are more women going to college than men, so subsequently, there are more ladies graduating college than men. This leads to better jobs, and better finances for women. So, the things that a woman used to need a man for (i.e. paying bills) she does not need him for anymore because she can do it on her own. This has caused some women to think that they don’t need a man. Independent women can do it all. Right? She can pay her own bills with her degree, take care of herself with her gun permit or self-defense classes, and she can even get a toy to take care of her “special needs.” So why does she have to put up with a man?
If a woman believes that she only needs a man for the reasons I mentioned, then she is sadly mistaken. A man, operating in his full capacity, has so much more to offer a woman. It was not designed for a woman to be without a man or vice versa. For starters, on a metaphysical level, there is a subtle exchange of power between a man and a woman in a relationship. This exchange provides balance for the man and the woman. You know, yin and yang. On a more basic level, a man provides security that cannot be substituted by weapons. The security of knowing someone has your back is its own type of security. The luxury of having a male counterpart to balance your thoughts, ideas, and aspirations is invaluable. Most importantly, if a woman has a conscious man, then he can help her discover different levels of herself that she may not have realized were there. These are things that cannot be quantified in dollar signs. A man commands and demands respect for his woman and by his woman. This, in itself, will put a woman in a different state of mind. So again, even the independent woman – regardless of how much money she makes – will still need a man. She just has to change her perspective on what those needs are. There are a lot of women with Fortune 500 jobs, with the big car and big house, but when they lay down at night they still feel alone. Why? Because the Creator, in his infinite wisdom, never intended for a woman to be without a man. A woman will always need a man. So, ladies, stop the madness.
Oh and to be clear, the men play a part in this thought process as well. I plan to address the men in the next installment. For now, you have been invited to where dons chop it up, and this . . . is our Corner.
