Men of Honor

"75 cents to the dollar is what that statement is worth." a typical response from the HSF in our on-going battle of the sexes debate. I fight on behalf of woman all the time because although, we are crazy bitches, I also feel like we are directly a product of the suppression we have dealt with and the places we have come from. Not to mention, the scientific difference between men and women, and on how on two very different levels we emotionally process things.

I feel bad for woman, more often than not.  Because I think we are smarter than we are acknowledged for.  And after centuries of being told we are good, but not good enough, we ourselves have begun to believe it.  We hold ourselves back, if anything, because we have had affirmed over and over that we are the lesser of the sexes.  We don't know how to be the best because we've constantly been told that we can't ever be.  I would be a more vocal advocate of this, but I am a girl, so I am insecure and constantly cowering from having a challenging opinion.  Ha.

Every conversation between man and woman can stand as a point in either the 'girls or boys' column in the scoreboard of life. Often times girls are responding off of an emotional reaction that makes our argument come off is irrational or invalid.  Where as men, more often than not, lack he ability to find any answer in the emotional gray area that does very much so actually exist.  One thing remains true to most situations though, which I hate to admit, women lack honor.

Men can be huge assholes, looking out for no one but themselves and constantly scheming new ways to get ahead be it in a job or a relationship.  But when it comes to friendship, family, and love - men remain honorable through the very end.  Us bitches will turn on each other at the drop of a hat.  We turn on each other faster than men turn on us, which is very quickly and all of the time.   Men will fight the good fight, get a bros back no matter what or who he may have done prior to that moment.  Because, above all else, men live and die with honor.

I don't have many girlfriends (red flag) but from the ones I have had and been close with, I think we can all agree that even though we have been closer than words - have laughed together, cried together, made vows to one another, and have held each other's hands and hair through many long and wonderful memories - we have all thrown each other under the bus in some way shape or form for the sake of a dude.  Because love, romance, sex, and lust will always mean more to us than honor.  Which is probably a bad thing, but a true thing nonetheless.

I want to make it a point, since I have recognized this short coming in myself, to live with more honor.  Keep an eye out for those other people in my life, be them men or woman.  Because at the end of the day - men don't get a lot of things right, but if there is one thing we can learn from them it is that 'no man left behind' all-for-one way of living.  All we have in this life is each other.  And hopefully some honor.
