one thing i hate about american society is how men are treated
i believe in the patrilineal inheritance.. which is basically saying male children should receive an inheritance (a home, a lot of money, a position.. SOMETHING) once they become of age or once they accomplish something of significance this is something you see in the bible a lot.. i think it is something that is proper and helps gender roles to fit together a lot better.. women can lean on men, and men can enjoy the satisfaction of being a blessing.. i like the idea and i think it is sad that people don't do this anymore men are the heads and leaders of their families yet these days it seems like no one helps a man be a man.. its like you're just expected to "have" and "be" without any sort of assistance at all women want you to be strong, they want you to provide and build a foundation, but you graduate college and you not only don't have money, but you actually owe thousands of dollars no wonder there is so much divorce and domestic abuse men are not "men" ... men feel powerless in every aspect of life women want to be loved and men want to be respected, but if men have absolutely nothing to show for themselves, they can't feed a family or even a dog, how is he supposed to feel? men are like caged lions these days.. a lot of us just don't feel like we are where we should be.. we are just existing in the confines of debts and taking what we can get, and feeling like we have nothing to really offer its like you have all this potential but no real way to express it.. its like everything is backwards or something men should be propped up so that we can prop up our wives and children as men, that is what we do, we use our resources to lay out stable foundations for those we provide for we need to reinstitute the idea of the patrilineal inheritance so that we as men can keep our children fed and our wives happy we end up getting wives and we can't be what they need us to be we have children and we feel shame because we can't bless them (outwardly) the way they bless us (inwardly) men need support.. we are strong and we have potential and drive but again.. what good is a caged lion? we need to be properly nourished and placed in an environment/position so that we can reach our full potential i was listening to papoose recently and on this song called "likewise" he said: "a man comes out of jail and you give him some dollas/ but won't give a man nothin when he comes out of college/" sad but true we need to reinstate the patrilineal inheritance, we need to provide assets and opportunities to our young men because the truth is, a man will use his resources to bless a woman.. its not men who 'have' who are generally a problem, ITS THE MEN WHO DONT HAVE.... they end up beating their wives trying to prove that they are not as powerless as they feel we need to break this cycle and we can if we can respect our young men and help them get a footing in this world
