Respect for the men

The secret to a man's heart is not food or sex...it's respect.


I know many women wonder why men are always willing to fight even to the death because they have been disrespected, it's simply because RESPECT is all we want. 

The reason why men have respect for each other and solve conflicts faster and never hold grudges. We respect each other. We do not pry where we are not supposed to and we have secret codes which we all understand. For example in a urinal there are bowls placed next to each other. Instead of going next to where a gentleman is handling his business another man would go to the furthest or to the main toilet, because it is respect.

Most women who have discovered this have always found life very easy. If you have noticed your mother championing for human rights but bowing to her husband as she gives him his food, it is not slavery, that woman knows what her husband wants. Of course the Bible expects a woman to submit to her husband, but he will always go for respect first.

Respect entails having his say, if there is a problem with the electricity let him fix it, let him pay for your meals at a restaurant, ask him for his opinion on a cloth you want to buy, approach with humility and avoid nagging when you want something done.

If a man asks for time to think about nothing let him do so. We men love thinking and get lost in our dreams, fantasies and visions and we are very volatile when someone decides to break our concentration. It is not a way of ignoring people, it is our way of trying to make sense of the world and planning what to do next.

If you want a man to talk to you to express his interests give him time. Respect his space and wait for him. True men nowadays take time to make their intentions known. Maybe he does not want a relationship or is not ready for one. We don't want to end up with the wrong person or one who will not be compatible with us. If you are wife material we need to assess, get advice from our boys and our mothers who know us better and can help make an informed choice. We try to avoid future conflicts if we can.

It may sound bias and subjective but that is the best I can define respect. I am all for women empowerment and having equal rights, but let us face it, we will never be the same. There are aspects about us that will be different and all the men want is respect.

If you know a man respect him for what he is worth. Do not insult a guy and downgrade his status, that is the worst sin and the reason for many conflicts, breakups and divorce. If you earn a better salary than your man do not rub it in his face;  if something he fixed in the house did not work again, encourage him; if he is taking time to propose to you do not rush him; and always talk with as much respect and humility as you can master. We men do not want slaves, we want partners who can respect us. If you do that your life with men, young or old, friends, brothers, cousins, potential boyfriends and even husbands, will be very smooth. If you feel it is discrimination, do not complain when men ignore you. Someone wrote the secret.

It is my child

(all photos taken from google.co.ke) (www.clipartbest.com) Gerald is seated sipping his drink slowly. He is admiring the house, trying to remember the many graceful memories he has had the past two year. However, it is time to call it quits. He has to move on, somehow. Sally comes in and seats besides him and notices something is off. “What is wrong Gerald?” Gerald breathes in and out. He picks up three papers from the table and hands them to Sally. “We need to talk Sally.” He looks at her trying to be as gentle as possible. “I am sorry Sally. It is over between us. I need to go take care of my baby.” There is a brief pause. “Ati, what? What did you just say Gerald? Am hearing you right? You want to leave me? Why?” Gerald can see she is becoming hysterical. He was not sure how to break it to her, but he felt telling it to her face would have been easier, how wrong he was. “It’s Milly. She was pregnant when I left her and now she has my son; one year old...

It's nothing new

(Bully Fanon website) It is quite a shame that Alliance has to be in the news for the wrong reasons. Usually they are in it, shouting and praising the form fours who had left the previous year for the ‘ A ’ s they brought to the school. To some it is a new phenomenon that students are beating students, but to me it is not. I went to a so called ‘ bush ’ high school. It is however famous in the part of the county it hails from. Here, beating of students by fellow students was a common thing during my time. It was almost routine. To make it worse, once you were beaten by the prefects they took you to the teachers who also beat you. Of course they were not using sticks only to beat their fellow students, but anything they found. Those who were forwarded to the teachers were usually those who had resisted the beating. The teachers also found out that sticks were ineffective and felt the need to use their fists to correct the errors of the student. I am not writing th...

Men, we need to wake up

(all photos courtesy of Google). The world is evolving. Time is changing. Women are gaining power. Men are seated, watching, waiting for their turn. In the 90s and early 2000s all campaigns were directed at ‘empowering the women’ Do not get me wrong, women were mistreated and suffered under the tyranny of men and their egos. UNICEF created the International Day of the Girl to help end the circle of violence against adolescent girls. It is celebrated on the 11 th of October annually. Education was the major concern and center of debates, and the United Nations felt that it had serious impacts on human and economic aspects of society. Girls worldwide were forced to cook, clean and do other house hold chores while their male siblings went to school and received care and attention from parents. Girls were seen as a curse while boys were seen as a blessing. Men felt proud having a boy while mistreating the poor mother for having a girl. Something needed to ...
