I have
committed a great atrocity upon myself. I noticed that in my writing I had
started to lean towards being “politically correct”. I avoid using certain
words or addressing certain things in the way I normally would. The reason I
started to putting my thoughts down was so that I had a platform to be raw an uncensored.
As such I will not apologize for the wording or topics of whatever it I will
write about. And if you don’t like it well then you can simply not read. This
is my blog anyway. Lol! Now down to business.
I recently
posted a picture on Facebook that sparked an interesting discussion a few of my
friends (and I actually mean friends) that also got me thinking of a few things
that I had been discussing with other people. It made me reevaluate and take a
step back and look at things with a bit more realism and practicality.
In the
discussion on the picture I had posted, a female friend of mine mentioned that
the aspect of “Equality” between men and women is a myth. And now that I think
about it she is right. There can never and will never be “equality” of the
genders not even in an ideal world. Just get that silly, stupid, irrational and
idealistic thought out of your heads. It will NEVER happen.
Now if you
are done huffing and puffing and cursing me out and all that (as some of you
may be doing so) you can either continue reading or let yourself simply take
what I just said and run with it and form some idea of me that isn’t all that
pleasant.
We cannot
be equal because we are different. Our biological make up is not the same as
such we cannot be treated equally or expect to be even then there are
situational differences that can dictate who gets treated how. Small example,
twins, a man and woman walk into a train/bus or whatever form of public
transportation there is. Everything about them is identical except the woman in
pregnant and its showing and the guy well he isn’t. The place is packed and they
are standing next to you. Who do you give your seat to? I mean if we were to be
equal then the woman should stand just as much as the guy.
Same
scenario but this time the woman isn’t pregnant and the man has a disability
with his leg or maybe it’s just broken. And maybe just maybe in another
scenario where she is pregnant and the guy has a broken leg. Who then will the
seat be given to? Ponder that a moment as we continue dismissing the concept of
equality.
An altercation
occurs between two guys. One guy says things that are mean, obscene, vulgar and
derogatory this obviously leads the second guy to retaliate by throwing a punch
or two. I mean even in court or by peer standards the first guy had it coming. But
let us switch it up. What if the first guy was actually a woman and she is the
one who instigated the fight and used such words and got slapped or hit because
of it. If we were to be honest how many people would say she had it coming and
how many would say that the guy was wrong in doing so? Again where is the
equality there? It should be that guy number two shouldn’t have hit another
person regardless of gender or situation and if a woman was to aggravate a man
then she should be prepared for the repercussions and play or be seen as a
victim.
I haven’t seen
many female construction workers or like bus drivers, neither have I seen many
men who are housekeepers (I have seen some and yes it was in Africa) and when other
women are asked why they wouldn’t do so well they say that those aren’t women’s
jobs or those aren’t jobs for men. So some women ask for equality and yet you
won’t do certain jobs because you think they aren’t for you merely due to your
gender and will look down on a man for doing a job that you deem to be unmanly?
Yeah that makes a lot of sense (sarcasm). And funny enough I just saw a 77 year
old woman deadlift 102.058 ( 225 pounds) so yeah the physical aspects really
don’t stand and shouldn’t stand in the way.
So with
that said no I don’t think equality is possible it is a lie. But and I mean but
FAIRNESS well that is a real thing and closer to the truth. By this I mean give
a job to a person according to the qualifications and capabilities regardless
of gender, age, race and be kind to another person and treat them well
simply because they are human and so are you.
Equality is a myth because it is high time we
admit (and some of you ladies need to own up to it) that what is really being
asked for is fairness in jobs, school, opportunities and so on however there
are situations and instances that a lady is to be treated like a lady. And this
is the truth and there is nothing wrong with that. It’s just better to admit it
opposed to sugar quoting and hiding behind things.
Jah Bless
