Good For Women, Bad For Men

Why are women celebrated for being chaste but men are crucified? What I mean is that a woman chooses to save herself for marriage, she's applauded but if a man does the same, cue crickets. It's like men are expected to lay it low and spread it wide. If a man opts to save himself for the right woman, his peers are going to give him dirty looks and ask him whether he's gay or not. Really..so a man has to be gay because he wants to save himself for Ms. Right. Personally, I applaud any man that has the courage to maintain sexual purity until marriage regardless of being ridiculed. It's easier for a woman to remain a virgin because women are expected to be chaste. I realize that many women don't mind tossing & serving it up but for the most part, women are celebrated for being chaste. It's sad that manhood is equivalent to getting nooky. A man isn't considered a real man if he hasn't bonked a few women. It's that mindset that breeds sexually transmitted diseases, unwanted pregnancy, one-parent headed households; all because he couldn't keep it in his pants. A real man isn't defined by whether he's slept with a few women or not but by choosing ONE woman to be his soulmate. That's something that shouldn't be taken lightly. I'm a real man because I don't have to worry about STD's, baby mama drama and child support. I used to be bothered by men who have kids with multiple women but now..I don't feel sorry for any man that has baby mama drama or pays child support because he should've used protection or WAITED (a term most of us don't like to hear). The motto is if it feels good, do it. It may feel good for a moment but once reality sets in, he'll change his tune. Men need to be supported more if they choose to remain a virgin until marriage because after all, it's hard being someone of principle. If women can be celebrated for remaining chaste until marriage, so can men. African-Americans make up the majority of AIDS/HIV cases and this baby-daddy culture that is running amok.
