A Dose of Manhood!

This is a frustration that I have had for a while-- As soon as skinny jeans became popular…for boys!? Oh dear oh dear. The other day I was watching the news and it was showing President Obama sorting toys for “sub for Santa” and he started mixing up the gender specific toys, saying that there shouldn’t be such a “divide.” I also read an article about a school in Pennsylvania that no longer allows the teachers to refer to the children as boys and girls. 

What are we teaching children America? BOYS ARE BOYS!! And GIRLS are GIRLS!! That’s what they are and that is what we should call them. We are causing a lot more problems by letting them get confused about “who they are.” This isn’t healthy and causes more issues down the road.  Which leads to my topic of men dressing and acting more and more feminine. 

I guess that being raised with a bunch of brothers puts me a little behind on the fashion line, but I know girly when I see it. And I see it EVERYWHERE> jackets with floral prints, skinny jeans, low cut t-shirts,  and fancy dancy accessories. I’m with Phil Robertson (Duck Dynasty) when he said, “What America needs is a good dose of MANHOOD.” 

Boys; girls are looking for a MAN, someone who can protect them, and be that solid foundation in a relationship. We don’t need a girlfriend—we have plenty of those. What can we do to reverse this issue? MAN UP!! Stop dressing, talking, and acting so feminine. My opinion is the exact opposite of President Obama, there should be a divide. Men and women have different roles to play in this world especially in the family. 

I am truly grateful for the man that I found to be my Husband and the Father of my children. He is so hardworking and wonderful. I hope that we can do our part as parents to teach our children that gender is eternal, and that God has great expectations for each of us to fulfill our roles as Men and Women.
