this is my response to it. I think our young people should know that
they deserve better".
Dear @iyaboojofespris
"With all due respect, I beg to differ. I'm so sick and tired of
constantly seeing men portrayed as these helpless animals that lack self
control! I simply do not understand why men do not feel insulted by
these statements. No human being, male or female is born a cheat. Our
society has brainwashed us into constantly glorifying this theory and
many men have come to believe this as true. Cheating is ALWAYS a choice.
We must come to a point where we make a decision to raise men who
understand the value of morality, faithfulness and loyalty.
As a woman, single or married, you have men throwing themselves at you
on a daily basis. We feel everything men feel and are even generally
more emotional which makes us susceptible to manipulation. Yet for the
longest time, the majority of women have selflessly MADE A DECISION, to
CHOOSE their families over a few minutes of gratification. The number of
women who are making those choices today is declining, and while I DO
NOT support it, it is a direct consequence of being neglected and taken
for granted. Men MUST realise that cheating is simply MAKING A DECISION
to choose those few minutes over your family.
Madam, If for any reason you have found yourself in that position and
you have made a CHOICE not to walk away, that is ok, no judgement
whatsoever. But we must stop demonizing women who are strong enough to
know that they deserve better. And we must stop corrupting the minds of
young people for goodness sake! The society MUST STOP glorifying
rubbish. Instead of justifying and rationalising immorality, we must
commit ourselves to raising sons who understand that values are still
respected even in today's world where decadent behaviour is applauded.
USE YOUR VOICE RIGHT OR DON'T USE IT AT ALL! "
