Ninga Odé:
' “Loving” women is not the same as respecting women.
Loving women is not the same as valuing women.
Loving women is not the same as being good to (and for) women.
I am intimately comfortable with the way fierce men move through this world and the differences in how men and women tend to respond to love, and life, and conflict, but if you can not respect and value women (all women) when they are making you uncomfortable or challenging you to look beyond your ego, hear me when I say that is not love.
There are other words for that.
Strong men, healthy men, safe men, warriors protect the sacred - respect the sacred. Apane.
Not just when those sacred are feeding their ego or when it is easy, convenient and serves their purpose.
Not just when the pressure of accountability and real life consequences are immediate, but when no one is watching, and no one but yourself can stand you on that line.
It is a commitment to the labor of moving differently with those who bring the future and carry the past.
Understand what you’re giving, not just what you’re taking and hold that responsibility like the gift it is.
