There are more divisions now days
than ever. One division I wish to go into is the division of men and women. This
is very important because this is the foundational unit to raise children with.
How can society be so at ease with the sexs’ being at odds with each other, but
so nervous about divorce rates. How can we be happily married if we believe
that we are always the victim to the opposite sex.
Science has proved that there are
physiological differences between men and women. A 5-year-old on the beach can
understand the differences quite easily. There are further details however that
are overlooked. There is 5x as much white matter in the communication empathy
of a woman’s mind rather than guys. This helps with the communication in a
woman’s mind. They are able to relate items to each other and find connections.
This is also why they are more aware of their surroundings. Guys have more grey
matter in their brains. This effects their capacity for problem solving. Women
are built more emotional. Men are built more physical. This isn’t a matter of
opinion. This is proven.
These differences are not bad but
good. They are complementary to each other. When in marriage, men and women
both bring very important gifts to the table. Women bring compassion, love,
unity, and heart-felt things to the table while the man provides logic,
strength, and competition. These differences, when combined, can be extremely
complimentary to each-other. Each unit in the marriage has its weaknesses that
the other unit can overcome for them. They should work in harmony, not working
at odds with one-another.
Now comes the question of what
about the people who have the natural tendencies to do that of the opposite
gender. What about the girl who likes to ruff house instead of playing barbies?
What about the boy who would rather put on eye-liner rather than ride on the
four-wheeler? What about this minority who feels like they are not understood
and overlooked?
Across the U.S. in the 1980’s,
there were thousands of men who were dying from AIDS. The great majority of these
individuals who were dying were homosexuals. There began to be a fear as the
media displayed this to the public. It wasn’t long before there was a reaction
in the opposite direction. There were soon books being published, hoping to
overturn the phobia people were having of homosexuals. Their first goal was to
eliminate the word homosexual itself. The word “Gay” was soon thereafter
introduced. The second goal was to put homosexuals in every aspect of media. It
was also important to note that every gay person couldn’t be bad but rather a
good strong character. Their third goal was to eliminate or silence any
research being done that would show the downfalls of homosexual activity from a
health point perspective. In the end, it was their goal to normalize homosexual
activity so as to make the public more comfortable with it.
If we fast forward today, we
see that their vision was followed through. There are more homosexual characters
in the media than ever before. Research on AIDS and its relationship with homosexual
activities have been nearly eliminated because it is listed as “Homophobic.” The
homosexual stigma is now encouraged and promoted on every level of the media. Even
children are being listed as “Gay” without even understanding what sex is.
What we need to understand is this
whole subject isn’t about sex. It is about intimacy. It is human to want to fit
in and be understood. More feminine boys are often ostracized when they are
kids. Many are simply pushed into homosexual activities simply because they begin
to feel that they are pushed in that direction by everyone else. Girls that were
“Tom-boys” were seen as cool. Boys that were feminine were “sissies.” It is proven that more feminine boys are also
reported to be more distant to their fathers and brothers. It should be our culture
to accept anyone no matter how their character is.
In the end, I wish to say that people
should be respectful and understanding with everyone that is different from
them. We should also respect and honor everyone’s freedom to believe how they
may if this be for or against homosexual activity. We should also be aware and
try to help those who are struggling. Instead of smiling and patting those on
the back whom are gay, we should be asking how they are doing and if they are
struggling with anything. In the end, we should treat people like people and
not like an agenda. Most of the people on this planet are just trying to be
good people.
