Firstly, in a society that doesn't value people - here's a shout out and a huge thank you to the good men. To those men who take pride in their appearance, are well-groomed, have manners, open doors, walk on the street side of the footpath, do the heavy lifting, take out the garbage, fix stuff around the house and stay loyal to their women - a sincere and heartfelt thank you.
You are a rare and wonderful breed. In a word where domestic violence is on the increase, women's bodies are scantily clad and porn is more accessible than ever; thank you for holding true to your values. In a time where women post naked or near-naked selfies in an attempt to get attention, thank you for loving your imperfect partner. Thank you for showing her that you love the whole woman she is rather than just the shell of flesh she occupies. Thank you for being interested in her heart and soul. Thank you for holding her when she cries (though we are wonderful, we women face pressures that are too big for us and, from time to time, we need you to hold us; not fix us or solve our problems but be present and tell us we are beautiful even with snot and tears running down our blotched red face).
Thank you to the men who contribute financially to the household. While it is a traditional view on life, it is appreciated. And thank you for supporting us in our careers, too. Thank you to the men who take the kids out (or looks after them at home) so their woman can have some time to do the things she loves. Thanks to those men who teach their daughters/step-daughters/nieces/girls in their life what they should expect from a man when they grow up. And thank you for showing our sons what a real man is.
