I’m going to try and deconstruct three different ways men act unkindly toward women. I am a man, so I will be doing this from a male’s perspective. I think more men should be discussing this openly. My goal and my objective here is to give women healthy, encouraging insight from the inner-workings of a man’s mind in the hopes that you will be liberated by this toxic behavior.

Dear God, I was intoxicated with pride as if it were whiskey. I sought perfect lighting rather than the exposure of my blemishes. I adorned myself in elaborate fashion and carried myself arrogantly.I unjustly rebuked any potential notion of internal or spiritual revision. I foolishly discerned that my weak hands were mighty hands.

Thank you for your work-ethic. You never miss an opportunity to make your presence known. With every pivotal moment I’ve experienced, you’ve always been certain to arrive early, in the hopes that you can position yourself strategically. Your covert -but potent approach- has continuously kept me on my toes.
