My post about some stuff

Have you ever wonder why everything has to be so politically correct these days and why there are more and more “I’m single because I don’t want a man/girl ruining my life” people?

I’ve been thoughtful a lot about unattractiveness, solitude and feminism on modern societies as the result of cultural changes. Allow me to explain; you see, pop culture has inflected deeply our way of living, from the clothes we buy and the partners we might get. What’s the point? Well first, the unattractiveness and lack of interest in getting a partner in the first place is widely promoted by today’s motto of self-driven empowered men and woman, free of all relation and commitment, “finally liberated woman that were oppressed from the patriarchy and men being more emphatic and stuff”. In this search of empowerment, the attractiveness or the way we see the opposite gender is distorted as we no longer “need” them, we tend to look at them as less or even don’t look at all. I wonder how I am supposed to get a girlfriend if she no longer needs a man and I’m supposed to be politically correct all the time in order to not offend or “oppress” anyone, how can a woman accept the fact that she’s in a relationship and not feeling the urge to run away as soon as the first sight or first pledge, how the roles have changed and also, the concept of masculinity, femininity and sensuality is melting into an asexual gender free entity.

Moreover, the idea of solitude is rapidly increasing as commercials, adds, movies and other sources of media talks about “rather single than in bad company” or Instagram accounts full with “you better be single and travel”, are we moving towards a relation free world? Is it a marketing hoax to lower the population? I’ve asked myself If I truly enjoy being single or am I being deceived about it.

And that leads me to the final step, feminism. As I consider myself as a former feminist male I begin to realize that in order to truly eliminate the boundaries of the idealism we would need to redefine de broadness of the sexualities within our gender. What is to be a male and what is not, to comprehend the limitations and capabilities of each one and not just empowering one side of the equation (or trying to erase the like between them). Because as what it is today, myself being feminist I’m not appealing to the opposite sex for being “weak”, “condescending” or even “hypocrite” so as a conclusion: yes, I think a lot about things. No, I don’t think there’s a simple answer and also it’s not my area of expertise, but I truly believe we need to find a balance between what’s part of a marketing campaign and what is our natural / pure thought. I love and respect my bros and sis but also don’t want to end up being outside one group or another just to be “politically correct”.

Anyway, thanks for reading.
