Misguided masculinity

And this does not mean inculcating chauvinistic and misguided masculinity. It means correcting the perception that all problems of women have been caused by men.

We cannot shoulder the blame of gender inequality as the new generation of men, any more than the present generation of Germans can shoulder the Hitler blame.

They say that we objectify them in music video, yet no one ever assumed that they derive the same erotic pleasure during the dirty dancing that is now official in clubs.

Increasingly, many music videos now have men who just have to show well-toned bodies, the muscles, and looks to boot to women. Yet it is the same objectification of which women have been crying foul.

A time will come that men will have no voice. Unless another creative empowerment begins, the future is not bright.
