When I started this blog I had every intention of keeping up with it. Then real life got me...again...and the Great American Road Trip ensued.. More about that later... much more, but that’s an entirely separate batch of blogs.
Today, my blog is about one tiny perspective on women’s issues, one in particular that has not been the subject of political debates, or women’s rights but rather one that has been peppering social media with a “re-post of you agree” at the end. And, the reposting still continues. It has been going around for months, along with similar blurbs, all of which are subtle indications of what women want and what they may or may not be getting.
I am not certain of the authorship, but the link that I received tied it to a Pastor Dameian Battle’s Facebook page. If, I have misrepresented attribution or not given correct attribution here, please notify me and I will correct it.
That said, I am including the aforementioned link for you to read here.

Now that you’ve read it, keep in mind that it has been making the social media rounds for months unabated. Thus, it seems to me that women out there still have the need to keep posting and re-posting it. Why? Could it be that maybe, just maybe, the guys out there still aren’t getting it?
It seems likely as men are still complaining that they don’t know what women want. Looking around, I can see men proving that they don’t have a clue what women want. Just this morning, as I was outside chopping out a tree stump, it occurred to me that maybe women haven’t been clear enough? I thought about it as I was chopping and whacking, and I came up with an idea. It’s just a little clarification, but perhaps it will help this understanding to take root and move things along. Here it is and, of course, “re-post if you agree.”
Every female wants and deserves to be loved unconditionally by the men in her life, and those men should surround her by joy and laughter. Every woman deserves a man who works hard to make their relationship the best in all possible ways; a man who loves with an open heart, forgives easily, and is there for her, not by judging her, but by giving her what she needs - both in times of laughter as well as times of tears. Every woman deserves a man who thinks of her needs and her feelings from her perspective instead of his own. All women need respect from the men around them. However, the most important men in a woman’s life need to give her that respect, while leading other men to do the same. Every woman, from birth to death, deserves to be surrounded by good, positive men, who respect her, boost her self-esteem, and strengthen her, so that she will always be a strong, stable, loving example for future generations of both genders.
Do I have to say it? Okay: “Re-post if you agree.”
