Torture of dating man who is woman at heart! We need real men in Kenya:

Lady Speak

Lets go back a few years: On the 31st of July 2014 the Deputy Prime Minister of Russia, Dmitry Rogozin, posted a picture on his Twitter account of President Vladimir Putin petting a leopard next to that of U.S. President Barrack Obama holding a small fluffy white poodle, with the caption “We have different values and allies.”

The post, which was meant to be an insult, teasing and questioning the U.S. President’s masculinity, was re-tweeted more than 600 times in two hours.

It was an obvious insult against Obama’s masculinity.

Masculinity is a trait that the Russian president seems to know a thing or two about.

Let’s, for a minute, forget the politics behind the jab (the photo came just days after the U.S. and EU imposed more sanctions on Russia in an attempt to stop the country’s support of pro-Russian separatists actively fighting the Ukrainian government), and really look at the issue here.

Attractively cocky

Although I do not agree with Russia’s politics, I am afraid I will have to offend sensibilities and side with the prime minister Dimitry Rogozin, that something is quite not right with the men of today.

All this puppy hugging men are giving me a headache! Sadly today’s modern woman is finding herself with men who look and talk like men but act exactly like women.

What happened to men who looked and acted like men? Men who did manly stuff? I remember the men of the days of our fathers, when masculinity emphasised on values such as discipline, power, control, stoicism, and independence.

Those were great days. When you could not opt out of your responsibilities and duties as a man. Men who were frank, forthright, male, attractively cocky, rock-solid in a crisis, and brimming with testosterone.

Unfortunately for us women, those days are far gone. What we have now is something very peculiar. These days there is all these hogwash about men defining their own personal ideals of masculinity. Thus, they now have options, they can opt out of the wretched “trap” of masculinity in favour of more gentle, more ‘socially inclusive’ habits, that can easily be termed as “girly”.

Although, I’ll admit that the metrosexual male enthusiastically embracing his feminine side, was vaguely entertaining in 2007, it is now boringly normal, and awkward for most women.

All this sleek, mirror loving, sophisticated men who know how to wear floral prints, do manicures and pedicures over the weekend, and who invest in tweezers, moisturiser, and exfoliating cream, can be very draining.

Shred of shame

Also I have had it with men who are comfortable driving their woman’s car without a shred of male shame; men who are happy to sleep over in their girlfriends house; men who cannot fix a light bulb or even hold a hammer, and would not know what being a handyman was if it hit them square in the face; men who are not protectors or providers, but want to be protected and provided for.

I will say it, if no one else will: Things are elephant; things have gone out of hand! There is now every reason to believe that humanity is on a downward spiral; someone needs to hold a national conference on the death of masculinity and figure out how to get it back or something because it is pure torture dating a man who is woman at heart!
