To be honest I am rather grieved by the behaviour being taught to the boy child from different sources in our society. Unfortunately, some of this behaviour is being taught in the comfort of their homes. Nevertheless, I believe there’s still hope for the boy child. Hope that many can become a strong pillar in society. Hope that many can create a society fair and safe for all. Hope that many can serve God wholeheartedly.
In light of what I have just said, please allow me to share some points on how to interact with women in certain situations. Of course in certain situations, these points will not apply.
Always respectfully greet women, whether you’re on the streets, at school, at church, or at work. A simple hello will do.
Please avoid catcalling at all costs.
Avoid any form of touching, even on places that you might deem appropriate. e.g hands. Unless she permits you.
Remember a woman doesn’t owe you a response or an explanation if you greet her, even if you greet her most politely.
When she says no, stop what you’re doing immediately, no matter how the “no” sounds like.
Always treat women with respect and dignity, even in situations where you disagree with her.
Avoid joking about what takes place naturally in her body.
Avoid objectifying women in any way or any form, women are not objects or tools to be used for anyone’s bidding or pleasure. Women are human beings made in the image of God by a God who loves them.
Avoid hitting a woman at any cost, your strength is meant to protect her not to harm her in any way.
If you’re in any position of power always give a woman what is due to her, never be oppressive towards her in any way or any form.
I admit I’m also on a journey of learning how to be a man that sees and acknowledges the true value of a woman. I hope these few points are leading me towards that final destination.
May God be with us all.
