Posted this on Facebook the other day:
"Facebook today has been filled with memes about guys in the friend zone. Guess what? Women are not machines you put nice tokens into until sex falls out. If she's not interested that's it, she's not interested. If you actually respect her like you say you do then you'll let it drop and treat her like a human not trophy. No women is ever required to be anything more than your friend, and even then, they aren't required to even talk to you. Grow up and learn some respect already.

I wrote that and got some really good responses, reactions, and even a good amount of shares. Yet I feel like it never goes far enough. I have a voice that I want to share with the world and I feel like I have no way to make that happen. My anxiety gets in the way every time and makes me feel like I am not good enough to make a difference. Makes me feel like I will never have a good enough voice to make a change in this world. Especially with the way this country is right now, how can I really make a difference? We have a president who is an admitted sexual deviant and predator. We have a government filled with conservatives who only care about money and not people. We have a country where police are shooting and killing innocent people and getting away with it. We have a country where rapists are getting off with a slap on the hand because they have good swim times. We have a country that is built on misogyny, racism, and greed. How in the world am I supposed to speak up against that and be heard? How am I as a white male supposed to have my voice heard when I am immediately brushed off by everyone?
I want to help, I want to speak out, I want to make the world a better place, but I want to do it peacefully. I want to do it with ZEN. I want to find a way to make people change their mind properly. Yes, there is always a time for revolution and sometimes it is the only way to get something done. We are on the verge of that right now in this country, I really believe we are on the tipping point of a major incident, maybe even a second civil war. However, I still believe the best way to get something changed is to have someone who is on the minority side of a topic use words and actions to convince the majority that they are wrong. If the problem in this country is the white male dominance over everything, then maybe as a white male I can get a better chance at convincing them?
I don't know if I even have a chance of making any of this reality, like I said, anxiety ruins my hopes and dreams daily. I just, I hate how this country is going backwards, how the land of the free is not the land of the persecuted. Everyone is at war with everyone and I just want it to stop. There is no need for all this hatred in the world. There is no need for all this mistrust. If we all tried getting along, or live and let live, we wouldn't have soooo many of the issues that we have.
So I will keep trying to get my voice out there. I will keep posting my thoughts and my rambles and my rants. I will keep speaking my mind about what I believe is right till the day I die. I just hope it makes a difference.
