A man’s home used to be called his castle. I think this notion left our consciousness somewhere in the mid 20th century. Oh how I long for it to make a comeback. Not everyday mind you but it should be honored more than in just a distant memory hidden in the recesses of our male chivalry. Yes it was chivalrous because back then we needed a refuge from the pressure we felt each day as the hunter in the form of silver certificates that fed, clothed and housed our family.
That notion of bearing the burden has left only some of us as our distaffed counterparts have claimed their rightful bounty in terms of their equality. However as I have said before somewhere equality does not have to mean that everything is 50/50. Some women love that their men are the providers even in the 21st Century. Yes there are still some women that long to be taken care of by their man and they in turn take care of their man in terms of his mental and physical well being like providing him sustenance and making sure he presents his best face to the world. I still need the emotional support that my mate instills in me that I am putting my best foot forward into the world each day. I need to read her what I write each day and am guided by her timeless and spot on commentary of everyone I meet.
