Importance of Stretching and Black Planet Comment

Morning Family,

So I get up this morning and decide to do some stretches. It's the first time that I have ever stretched in the morning before doing anything and it's 8:00am and I feel fantastic. Okay, I know your thinking that it's early but I've done my workout, walked to work and normally, I struggle with lower back pain but this morning I'm free of the back ache. I suspect that it will remain this way for the rest of the day and I will let you know either way on tomorrow.

So, I'm a member of Black Planet and have been so for many years. When I first signed up back when it first started, it was truly a networking site and I tended to get great job leads but nowadays it's more of a dating site, which I can't wrap my mind around and as such, don't visit the site very often. However, given my feel good morning, I see that I am favored by someone on BP. I go to their site and they have no picture and little info about themselves, so I look at their friends and favorites. I see this guy, he looks interesting, so I click on his profile, only to discover that he's looking for a fuck buddy (that's cool) and I read his blog. I read blogs to get a sense of who people are and he writes about how all the men around him treat their women horribly, yet he is a good guy who is single and he begs the most ridiculous question I've ever read in my life, which is 'should he treat women differently?' In other words, should he start treating women disrespectfully because maybe that's the only way he will get a woman. Below is my response:

I must be in rare form this morning because I never comment on blogs but your question was truly evocative. You inquire about how you should treat women but I wonder when will the men who treat women respectfully learn to pull to the side the other men they know (the men that treat women disrespectfully) and check these men on their behavior or engage them in a conversation that encourages them to treat women with more respect? Why do men feel that because most women accept this behavior that somehow they need to engage in this dysfunctional behavior? And lastly, when will black men like yourself, stand up for a definition of manhood that includes treating women with respect and having functional and healthy relationship with women? peace and blessing always

Can I get an amen or have I gone crazy?
Enjoy your day, wishing peace, light and lots of good old fashion LOVE!
