David's plea
Right from birth women were taught how to treat a man; words to utter and words not to throw out. What about men? Were they taught how to treat a woman? Hell No!
I quite remember as a child growing up, my mum will always tell my sisters "don't say that, he is a man! A woman shouldn't say that to a man" but there was never a time I raised my hands on my sisters or even abused them verbally that mum said "don't do that, that's not how to treat a woman ". Men had their way right from birth and now has brought about irresponsible men in the world.
Daddy will come home drunk, demanding for food and sometimes throw the food away but my grandparents never cautioned him or even rebuked his acts. I always remember what they told mum "he is the man, he is at liberty to drink what he wants" when mum complained about his drunkenness.
The mistakes of the old was their failure to train men on how to treat a woman . They denied us the power to become better men in serving and honoring our women.
I would eat, put the plate in the washing sink and leave but mum won't say anything. But anytime my sister did the same thing, mum would say "a lady doesn't leave her plate uncleaned , go and clean it. Men had been lazy since infancy, never swept, washed or even mobbed. All we hear was "it's the work of a woman" so men don't know how to take care of the home, leaving it dirty and unorganized.
The mistakes of the old have had an adverse effect on men. Men struggle with handling women and even the house. Women were taught everything, not men!
It's my plea because I wish I knew how to treat a woman, how to organize my home and take good care of my kids. Women suffer a lot in the hands of men because men don't know how to treat them, they were denied that knowledge and wisdom.
Some resorted in learning how to treat women through books, social media and all kinds of movies.
Men we need to awake from our mess and learn how to treat women. I am learning from the Bible how Abraham treated Sarah, how Isaac treated Rebecca, so wonderful, loving and amazing! Can we treat our women with respect, dignity and honour? I am asking all men to learn from the best and be the best! #timewithPrissy
