Toxic Masculinity

Toxic Masculinity

That was the topic. 

Sexual preference and disposition.  Does the fornicator wear a sign saying I am a fornicator?

Does the adulterer wear a sign, I will “bag” your husband/wife? 

Or the thief and the robber have a sign saying I will take your possessions? 

Is the heterosexual supposed to have a sign saying “I am straight”?

The big question is this, why must everybody be like you.  Can you accept my preference without calling me a “homophobic” person, your first predisposition?

I consider the one whom sleeps with someone else spouse or significant other just as bad as the one whom has a “preference” to sleep with others of the same sex; but, all need a relationship with God, and I will not “Not help them” because of their preference; I just hate when people try to force me to be like them, and say I am wrong.  When you try to make your preference “my preference” then we have a problem. 

You want to use drugs, then that’s you.  You want to smoke, then that is you.  You want to drink, then that is you.  Those are your preference. 

The lovely part of all this is those that consider and judge a person by one attribute.  Oh, he is anti-abortion, so he has to be good.  One quality or preference does not make a person.  This is the political conundrum.  He is a conservative. He is a liberal.  Assign a label and then, “you must support that person”.  Assign a label and you must support that cause. 

I say this only because of the flag, the rainbow flag.  The rainbow has been accepted as the symbol that “God will not destroy the earth again”.  However, modernist have translated it to a sign for an alternative lifestyle. 

Months ago, my daughter misplaced a rainbow flag in her room.  She asked if I had taken it, I responded no.  But I asked why she thinks I took it.  Then, the toxic masculinity came up; “you hate gay people” she said.  I reiterated the fact the rainbow is of God.  Later, she found the flag in the covers. 

Our society has changed.  I think the divorce rate is way above 60%.  Young adults can have sex and accidentally or intentionally start a family at 12 or thirteen, but they cannot work.  Hence, the welfare generation and those that do not believe in work.  Just get a check, have all the kids you want.  The other aspect is go to college, and then start a family, but that does not mean in between you did not have a “relationship” or sexual encounters. 

Let me be me.  Let me “vote my conscious said the politician today.  Let me be me I say, let me have my beliefs.  Do not make fun of me and label me.  Do not shove your preference down my throat.    I will not boot you out of my car.  I will not boot you out of my home.  But do not ever try to make fun of me for my preferences, that is where you are wrong.  It is your life, you live your preferences, I will live with mine.  But if you think smoking weed for breakfast, drawing a check for substance abuse, and not working is okay, then that is you.  Drink 24/7 if you want.  That is your liver, but do not make fun for me for my preference. 

We had a long conversation about “toxic masculinity”.  And, about learning to believe and accept others despite their beliefs and for their beliefs.
