A Warning to American Males
By
Bishop Clarence William Page
This is a warning to American males. It is tragic that this warning has to be issued. More tragic, however, could be your failure to heed this warning.
Be careful how you look at American females. Be careful what you say to American females. Be careful what you do to American females. When I was a young man growing up dating was an open game and a fairly equal playing field (with men hunting women and women playing coy and men pursuing and finally "winning " them). It is totally different today. What was "fair game" during my dating days could very well be "a crime" today. That is why I am writing this warning.
Many of you are young American men and do not realize that many American females have been "male-negatized. In other words, they have been taught that men and their actions are to always be treated with suspicion. I have worked with groups of young females for a number of years and am totally appalled at how over-sensitive some of them have been trained to be. Some are so sensitive that it is dangerous to look them in the eyes. If they are wearing revealing clothing on the upper part of their body and are also sensitive to being looked in the eyes, the only alternative I've found is to not look at them at all, but rather stare past them into space. That (staring into space) may be taken by some as "disrespect".
How did we get to such a sad state of male/female affairs? It is not by accident. Over the past forty years certain elements of the women's liberation movement have intentionally sought to build adversarial relations between men and women. Some seem to have done it in order to promote same-sex intimacy; others, because they wanted to hold sway over women and still others because they either disdain or hate men. Whatever the reason, the results are the same and so are the dangers.
So, I repeat, be careful how you look at American females. Be careful what you say to American females. Be careful what you do to American females.
I propose this Twenty-first Century rule of thumb: "If she pays you no attention pay her no attention." If she shows no interest leave her alone. Gone are the days (in the USA) when men can "safely" seek to "win" the woman that appeals to the eyes and tugs at the heartstring. I say again, "If she pays you no attention pay her no attention". In other words, move on and keep searching until you find a woman who appears to have a "natural" interest in you and wants to be in your presence and wants the things you want. In my young days, seeking to "win a woman over" was fair game. Today it may be called stalking. Stalking is a crime.
If she does not want to be bothered with you do not bother her. Husbands, if your wife does not want your intimate affection it is best to leave her alone. (I do not mean leave her "physically" as in "break up" the marriage.) What I mean is just don't bother her. She may very well have been taught to make damning accusations against men and the husband is probably no exception.
During the past month there appeared in the local newspaper in the town in which I live a letter to the editor in which the writer lamented the double standard the paper allegedly showed regarding men and women. The writer indicated that the paper had asked people to write in telling good things about their mother (for Mothers Day). The writer said the paper then asked people to write in (for Fathers Day) telling how their father had embarrassed them. This is characteristic of the attacks that are often launched against American men.
Husbands, love your wives. As a minimum, read the following marriage information contained in the Holy Bible: I Corinthians Chapter 7 and Ephesians Chapter 5.
Beware of the times. Keep yourself under control. Use wisdom. Do not try to make anyone love you. Love and if love comes that will be wonderful. If love does not come remember that God is love and God loves you. After all, you are likely to find someone who will love you with true and natural love. God has created a big, big, big world that now contains more than six billion people. Keep looking (if you are single [and never married]), keep praying and keep the faith. I bid you God speed.
