So what makes the man? There's so many answers, but I'm going to focus on the most influential aspect: women.
In this overly-sexualized, social media-crazed millennial generation, we are handed yet another stigma that has been around for centuries: getting your prey. Prey, in this case, is women.
Guys nowadays feel as though they have to have a significant body count to be established as a male. If you haven't had multiple women, you're lame. If you do, you're the man.
When you lay it out, it sounds a bit ridiculous. But it's true. I'm not going to delve into the double standard of women doing the same thing and getting shamed for it, but this is an ugly truth our men today go through every day.
Now, instead of focusing on their ambitions and their goals in life they are more focused on "getting dome" and "having b*tches."
And they are more focused on this in an attempt to fall in line with how it is and how it's always been. And when they finally dismiss this stigma of claiming women's bodies as a victory and actually treating them like human beings, they get shamed for it. But maybe there's a more important question that needs to come into play, a few questions. What if he doesn't actually want a woman or sex from a woman? What if he's a virgin, or what if he just genuinely respects women. Sh*t, what if he's gay?
So in all of these cases is said guy any less than a man? Or is he meant to be with women, no, "getting dome," to be validated in his worth.
Why is working hard and being independent from sex and from women - God forbid - such a terrible thing?
The stigma is so rooted, but women will come and go so why are you still wasting your time?
To break it down, you don't need women or sex from women to make you whole... you can do that on your own.
So why type of "man" do you wanna be?
Guy #1: "Please save her for me. Lord please do this one favor for me."
OR
Guy #2: "Some n*ggas save hoes, I'm not that heroic."
