Being a Man

As a physically strong white male who happens to have a brain that works (for the most part), I find it so hilarious, yet alarming, the desperate cling that other white "strong" men, those typically without a very functioning or deep-thinking brain, are holding on to as they see their opportunities, and race- and gender-based entitlements fade away as society progresses to an ever increasingly global and automated one. And no, I'm not talking about the ones who are truly victims of our ruling leadership's inability to foresee and plan for the inevitable. I'm talking about the fools who brag about how perfect and tough they are and refuse to change and adapt themselves, while just yelling and complaining at the world without offering any real solutions. Humans, like all life, are fully capable of adapting to change in order to survive. Our rise to become the top apex predator on this planet is in large part due to our keen ability to adapt. We are biologically hardwired to try to make our lives more convenient and efficient; to allow us to be more productive with our limited time on this planet. Being a man isn't about being a "tough guy" who refuses to change. Being a man is accepting that we will never be perfect and that one must constantly improve and grow in order to keep raising the bar. Being a man is not following along like a sheep and bringing ourselves down to the lowest common denominator. Being a man is about risk-taking and taking the lead to further our species and making the future a better one for our children. I think the women of this world get it. When will the average man get it?
