Battling the mindset

Terry Crews explains how in the most recent years; boys are now able to start choosing what kind of man they want to be when they’re older. Even though, he says this he still has a “fear” of what some men have become. He explains how most men are too scared to exposed when they’re scared, think they’re more valuable than woman, and more. When it comes to feminism some men are scared of the idea and have a fear of being controlled. He believes that feminism is the act of striving for equal rights. On the other hand, Caitlin Moran says, “In the 21st century, it can’t be about who we might make, and what they might do, anymore. It has to be about who we are, and what we’re going to do”. What exactly does she mean by “what we’re going to do”? I really don’t know. The one thing Terry Crews and Caitlin Moran would disagree on is that men can carry on with their lives after the baby is born. Moran states that, “The reason they don’t ask men when they’re having kids, of course, is because men can, pretty much, carry on as normal once they’ve had a baby”. Terry Crews believes that men should start stepping up to the plate and taking care of their children. They would probably agree that people do not have roles but purposes. Moran believes that women (she didn’t really talk about men) should have the chance to make a difference in the world by doing extraordinary activities. She explains that, “there [is] plenty of babies being born; the planet really doesn’t need all of us to produce more babies”. Crews believe that your purpose is to care for your child, and to protect your child regardless of gender. Regardless if we are talking about woman and baby making, or men and woman values “we are not battling people we’re battling the mindset” (Terry Crews).
