The Commodity
Women are perceived and treated in an objectified manner, and that women's images and bodies are exposed to practices of commodification gives me concerns as I have been influenced by great Women all my life especially as a Man raised by an exceptional Single Mother.
You are not a real Man, a civilized Society or a Brand to associate with if you do the following things amongst others;
You Dehumanize Women.
You Sexualize Women.
You Disrespect Women.
You leave a Woman to do house chores and cooking alone.
You think Women are Baby making and caring machines.
You don’t consider a shared pleasure during Sex.
You don't recognise or accept a woman’s voice or opinion at meetings and deliberation.
You disagree with Women taking Leadership roles.
If you think you exist or can exist without a Woman.
I can go on and on with a full list of factors that dehumanizes Women in different forms which needs to be checked even from how we raise and groom our Children both Male and Female. We need to stop stereotyping our Children or building their masculinity vs femininity or preference. Raise them equally. They say charity begins at home, i say equality awareness/education begins from the womb right from conception.
A Girl Child is equally the same as a Boy Child and in most cases a Girl Child is more dependable contrary to popular opinion.
A Society that Respects Women is a Prosperous Society!.... Kayode Gomes .
It is sad that we do not value the regenerators of mankind.
Whether we like it or not, Women run the world, they teach us most of what we think we know, they shape our minds and prepare us for adulthood. No matter who or what you are as a Man, I believe you can relate.
Overtime i have come to realize that part of being a man is not just by your masculinity, abilities, strength, societal privileges or superiority, but your ability to recognise the strength and impact of Women. The value of equality and respect for Women cannot be overemphasized.
Based on research, men are likely to die an average of four to five years before women; have you ever wondered why? (food for thought)....
We have to learn and accept equal chances, opportunities, pleasure, freedom, knowledge, strength and value. Any family, community, entity and/or a nation that wants to experience peace, care, growth and development must nurture and treat women right. Women's voices must be heard and they must enjoy an enabling environment, equal opportunities and shared experience.
From my understanding; Woman (Eve) experienced civilization before Man (Adam) even though Adam was created first by God.
Women have more potential and have multitasking abilities unlike men and they should not be taken for granted or misused.
Women and Girls are not commodities and must be treated as human beings with equal rights as Men and Boys…. Kayode Gomes
And in both ways, we should all enjoy equality and not dominance!
