We need a cultural reset. We need to take responsibility for where we are and build a new future with confidence and as allies of one another. Since the beginning of time God created Adam and then created Eve as a helper. The story of Adam and Eve is always brought up and Eve is always highlighted as the one who cursed us all. There has been a lot of pain and suffering on both men and women. We have seen the battle of the sexes play out in pop culture as we applaud others for their masculinity and femininity. While others suffer in silence for their masculinity and femininity. A community is made up of people and people are individuals. We have a responsibility as a community to have the uncomfortable conversations so we can reach new levels of enlightenment. We are all wonderfully and fearfully made in the image of God and we need to start walking in that power and light as it is in all of us. In todays episode we take a closer look at women and men who have represented the culture and who are referred to as “ Alpha males and “ Alpha females” . In the midst of Hollywood’s “me too” feeding movement as a call for attention in the wake of too many sexual abuse allegations to count, the topic of what’s being called “toxic masculinity” is brought to the forefront. The truth is that there’s a greater agenda at play here, and it’s the elephant in the room that noone’s talking about. In both my personal and professional life, I’m a woman who spends most of her time in the company of alpha males and I too am labeled as an “alpha female” so I said let me tackle this hot topic raindrops and try to break it down , deconstruct , reconstruct our way of thinking. I play devils advocate as I put 2 and 2’s together. I love and absolutely embrace these “ Alpha” qualities, both in males and in myself. I want other women to embrace it too if they fit it and to be unapologetic about it. We need to scrutinize our own culture and fearlessly identify what is really going on here. I’m happy to be crucified for that if my message also meets some like-minded individuals who will find it enlightening . The success and survival of the human race is due as much to woman’s reproductive power as it is due to man’s power to protect and provide. Balance is found by establishing mutual respect; not by diminishing one side or the other.
