Attention Ladies

This popped up on my facebook news feeds a couple of days ago and really caught my attention! It comes from a male I attended high school with.

"Attention Ladies:

Already said it on twitter, but had to reiterate it on facebook. The way to get a real man is not to be timid, meek, or docile. Often I see girls who are dependent on others, and truth is, you need to start defining your own paths and go after your own dreams. If you do that, a real man will notice and make it a mission to team up with you. Atleast in my opinion, there is nothing more attractive than a woman who follows her passions, puts everything into it, and kills it on the daily!"


Although it's not very poetically written I enjoyed reading this coming from a males point of view. In a way, it reminded me of the last act of the vagina monologues. The act talked about how men should be standing up for the women in their lives, defending their sexuality and speaking out against violence of women. The guys that we call friend, son, brother, father grandpa, etc. should be helping women become dependent individuals and not be used and seen as timid and docil bodies. They should be helping women to achieve their dreams. And standing next to them as a teammate, not in front of them as an owner.
