These days women can do anything by themselves. Make money, start a business, become president of you name it. We can have kids alone, raise them alone.

This is practically a first. Until recently, women needed men to exist.

A man would bring food to the table, provide a home, children were impossible without him. To an extent, back then sex was a commodity. Was offered in exchange for the bread and the home. No doubt, children were his. A woman could not ran away from him and take them with her.

Well, these days this power game has shifted so much that we wonder for our roles. Non binarism could be a byproduct of this crisis and for sure the “do we really need men” question is.

Modern men are arguably confused. Modern women are arguably agressive. Marriage is in crisis they say. Couples no longer find it easy to be together and the cynical argue there is no point in marriage to begin with. It is surely no longer the survival contract it used to be.

so why bother indeed? My answer to it is love. I can have children alone indeed. I can live alone indeed. I can travel solo. I can make all the money in the world and need no one let alone a man. However, life is not fun and is not complete without love.

Are men the only species that can offer a woman the love I am describing? No. Categorically no. There is something I a man’s love though that is more fun, more needed. A famous woman was asked once what is it that women need after all? She said a big smile and a hug. As cheesy as it sounds is 100% true. The problem is men won’t believe us it is in fact that simple. Having been wired to believe the need to be super humans dealing with all problems themselves to take care of the vulnerable little woman, offering a hug gets demoted to just a hug? When is in fact, the everything.

don’t get me wrong. We are still very vulnerable. When pregnant. When new mums. These days this usually happens late and once or twice. Not so much to ask so be there with that big smile and the hug and we will likely ask for nothing more and offer the widest hug in return. So big that there is room for at least one more little human to squeeze in.

Help me make sense of this one too…
