Rant 4

It has come to my attention that a lot of feminists are often too naive in their cause. Many so called bra burners are fed up with all the expectations placed on females, and the unequal treatment between women and men. I understand the need for equality on subjects such as rights and salary. However, everything comes with a price, women can have everything a man has, but every joy also comes with a burden. For fun, I'm listing some of the expectations of an ideal man in our society.

The saying goes that the hardest thing to be in this world is a good man, I am slowly beginning to understand why. Traditionally, the ideal man is marked by:

- Protector of his loved ones
- Destroyer of his enemies
- Alpha male
- Good physique at any age
- Look good, but never better than the woman
- Always faithful
- Be able to give top sexual performance anytime a woman wants it, but only when she wants it.
- Nice but not too nice.
- quiet and strong, but openly communicate with the woman about anything.
- Be romantic like in romantic comedies but still manly
- Puts his family first, and also have a respectable career.
- Fix the house during days off.
- Pay the bills, open doors, pull out chairs, surprise his loved one, take her shopping, remember all important dates
- Intelligent, witty, funny, sexy, charming, charismatic, ambitious, courageous.
- Basically, be like twilight dudes, but instead of being jobless, shirtless, forest lovers, the ideal man needs to have power and wealth in the real world.

This is not nearly the entire list, just some things I came up with off the top of my head. I know I exaggerated some parts, but my dear feminists it's really not easy living up to the ideal standards of anyone. I have long accepted members of the opposite sex for who they are. I for one, know that I can't live up to all the marks of the ideal man, but damn it I try a little harder everyday because I want to be a better person. We live in this world starring ourselves, I don't want to live in a romantic comedy starring matthew McConaughey, or in the feminist world where we dont have these personal ideals to strive towards. You live for yourself and those you care about, society has plenty of good moral goals that we can pursue, women don't all have to look like Barbies or expected to fuck like porn stars, but some do, those ideals shouldn't bother you if it's not something you want to pursue. So please, say how much you hate men by all means, but you can do more if you live by the ideals you want to strive towards, it will be a bigger personal reward than merely blasting your contempt for society. We know the world is unjust, we all live in it.

On another note, on the journey to becoming a better man. It isn't until I've made the sacrifices that I realize how much of myself had to be torn down and reconstructed in order to fit another person into my life. But knowing it's what I want, the change has been less painful than expected. I feel like a piece of marble slowly being chiseled away into a vague figure of a man, with every chip leaving a sting and a lesson. I will endure the pain, swallow my pride and hope the end result will be worth it all. Suddenly I have so much more respect for successful fathers and husbands in the world, this is not an easy thing to do.

P.S. I support educated feminists, not those who want all the benefits of being a male and none of the labor.
