Why Men Need To Stop Blaming Women For Their Crappy Behaviour

Hold yourselves accountable

Just to be clear, this post is not about vilifying men.

The premise is simply to highlight a type of man that refuses to hold themselves accountable for their actions, and the trail of broken people left behind, looking for ways to put the pieces back together again and make sense.

The current global situation we’re in has brought this topic to the surface like a ripe pimple.

Let’s release it and have a conversation or at the very least, provoke a thought that opens up a line of truthful communication.

There are too many people suffering in silence right now, scared to show how they really feel so it’s not perceived as being weak or needy. Putting on a brave face and playing the role of “Teflon Don” to hide their internal turmoil.

Expressing how you feel is not a weakness, do not let people who have not yet mastered how to do this, make you wrong for doing so.

Acceptance from both sides is a catalyst for starting the accountability process, we can only be responsible for ourselves and our own actions. With that being said, it doesn’t mean that we should go through life using this notion as an excuse for shitty behaviour.

So after a somewhat sagacious perspective, let’s cut straight to the crux of this pandemic of foolishness.

Guys, I love you, however, just because you’ve had your ego slightly grazed or showed a slight level of what you think vulnerability is once in the past does not give you the right to treat women like tampons, they’re not there to temporarily plug your bleeding heart when you’ve decided you are done, thrown away in the trash and onto the next aka ghost them until they go away.

NO, tiny minded boy, this is not acceptable, find the strength (just like women have to) and have that perceived difficult conversation you’re too pus*y to have, period.

In no way or frankly, misinformed template does anyone who calls themselves a man have the right to treat women or anyone this way.

Alright, rant part over (for now)

Hurt people do hurt people. We can all understand that fragmentarily, however stunting your own growth as a human being because of ignorance or fear of being hurt again, is not a reason to lose all sense of common decency and respect for others. These are basic attributes that are easy to execute lads, c’mon, you can do better.

Another perspective I would like to briefly touch upon is the lack of communicating and the fearful “mummy’s boy syndrome” aka “pathetic excuse paradox”

Misplacing blame on your mother’s because they were; formidable, never told you no, smothered you or loved you too much, again, not valid reasons for your behaviour. It can in some part aid understanding but it does not justify the action, so let’s stop that one too. Own your bullshit.

There are indeed various optics and nuances to the root causes of these traits, I’ll use this shortened perspective to break it down.

The ironic part about this is, some slick ‘mack daddy’ probably did mistreat our mothers in some way causing them to either; disengage completely, give you the platform to be wrong and strong by never challenging you or bear down so hard on you you’re a skittish mess.

Now, this snapshot in the life of a toxic cycle isn’t exclusive to any gender, women just seem to find it easier to articulate their emotions and relay them, whereas men can find communicating more of a challenge, making it perceptibly harder to process their emotions.

“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced” - James Baldwin

I’m going to leave you with this.

The ripple effect of the unaccountability cycle gains momentum when we do nothing. Have the courage to stand in your truth rather than suppress it. Educate your sons, brothers, daughters and nieces to hold themselves accountable.

We are all capable of being more than just one thing, you just have to do the work towards making it so. In the meantime, give yourself space to process and look after yourself.
