Men, find out if your getting what you deserve.

In the continual struggle for women’s liberation, it is man who has suffered great losses. How do you ask is this possible? The answer is not as complex as one may think. Since, the beginning of time man has been feared. Notice, I say man not woman. This is because the ideal woman of past years has been to be a homemaker, a caregiver and a barer of children and in all honesty she who bakes the bread was not as feared as he who brought it home was. This was in past years. Today, women are almost where they claim they have always wanted to be. They have become empowered by the women’s liberation movement. They have become the wearers of suits. They run major corporations. They fight fires. They are leaders in political and religious organizations. They, to some extent, have become feared and they have been trained and taught to be.

Without a homemaker, man has found himself coming home after a long day of work to a messy home, no hot meal at his table setting and he awakes in the morning without a fresh set of clothes for his work day. He is though, still held to the tasks of the early days of doing yard work, taking out the trash and working on home improvements. Now added to that, he must find the strength and the time to cook meals, clean house and wash clothes. Where did man’s deal go wrong, you may ask? It didn’t. He never had one to begin with.

Politics has not been kind to man, even though the majority of those in politics are men. So why do they punish themselves? I believe that it started as a simple attempt to equalize the sexes and ended up growing into an entity of it’s own that now can not be ignored without jeopardizing a politician’s political future. How do men in politics now turn back the clock? It is difficult to do but in small advances it can be done. After all, when was the last time The National Organization for Men complained about a commercial bothering them? Come to think of it, I do not believe that The National Organization for Men ever complained about anything that has mocked them or lowered men’s self-esteem. These organizations and groups need to come together and legitimatize themselves in the eyes of the public and become an entity of it’s own that is taken as seriously as women’s groups and organizations are.

Perhaps, there is much that men can learn from women. Maybe, men need to lower their guard a bit in order to get something they want. Yes, complaining and whining do work. Ask women. A flood of letters to a manufacturer or advertising agency along with a nationally viewed press conference may be a good start. Maybe, just maybe, “That commercial offended me, as a man.” is not to far fetched and may just be the crack in the wall of the woman’s liberation movement that they are looking for.

My hope is that within the near future, in the eyes of the lawmakers and law shakers, all men will be an equal to me and will receive the same consideration by the Federal government and local governments when their feelings are hurt or ignored. Something must be done and done quickly. Otherwise, the future holds for man the promise that he will need his own liberation movement to get out from under the pile of laundry - of women’s clothes
