Toxic Masculinity
It’s a thing perhaps in the latino culture that we just brush to the side and ‘think nothing of it’
But working with Dominican men I hear things all the time
Things that are not ok and yet these men find it funny or absolutely normal
Makes me fee like I have to stand on a soap box with a megaphone letting people know what’s going on
And yet some just keep on walking by at times while I’m saying what I have to say because I feel strongly about what’s going on
Like I’m in a loop where I’m the only one that sees certain things apparently and others may think I’m weird or crazy
Perhaps a little bit of both and maybe I am
I cannot tell
May be you can
So while I’m at work this the conversation seems to turn to me and how I should act towards men
Because as a woman in 2022 we have the power to make men bend to our will & call or so I’m told
However I don’t know of a man that I want to personally do my bidding if I’m honest
And then it was said ‘man if I were younger I would impregnate you and then leave you!’
What on the good Lord’s green earth is that?
How does another human being think this let alone say it out loud and other men are silent which lets me know that apparently they agree
It should not be so challenging to be of the female gender yet some men really are d!cks!
The fact that a man would even be so vile to want to hurt a woman by abandoning her with his child on purpose is mind-blowing
Why would you want to do that ON PURPOSE???
What goes through this man’s mind to think this through?
What does he gain out of making someone endure the physical changes that come with pregnancy, childbirth and then want this woman to raise a child on her own just because?
This is an act of violence against a woman any way you look at it by the simple fact that this man uses something that’s supposed to be beautiful (welcoming life into this world) into an act of pain and suffering knowing how hard it is to be a single mother
Why????
What is it with men?
How do they not realize that they were born from a mother?
A woman carried them and nurtured them in their womb!
And yet they know not how to value the amazing sex that is FEMALE
Mind boggling and preposterous at the same time
No cliff hangers, just thoughts of wonder on how this happens…
