After reading about Love languages, of course, Amazon Kindle recommended several books that are supposed to be similar. The theme I saw couldn't be ignored. If you are a regular reader of this blog, this is a topic I've teased at before. In a previous Post, I said;
"I'm tired of some of these male self-help authors writing books for ladies but have yet to write a book for men. I can "Act Like Lady & Think Like a Man" but what is the dude I'm dating suppose to do. ...he's Just Not Into Me but let him know I just may not be into him also. The dating reaction coin works the same for both genders."
I'm kinda weirded out. First, I thought because I'm so "woke" about daily learning about myself was why it bothered me. But no, common sense wouldn't let me not see it. You click on the author's page and see only books that give advice to women. What Gives?
I sometimes wish somebody would just release the stats that women read more than men and we can call some(I will say Some) of these male authors writing only to women, Opportunist. Early talks & workshops gears to young men are good. I can't knock that. Sometimes having men only social media post is ok. But what about a manual to help your brotherhood.
Writing only to women actually is a passive aggressive way that puts the social responsibility on the female gender. Whether these male authors know it or not. "If ladies change their response to negative male behavior, the gentlemen will show up" is the only message mostly put out. But until male writers talk directly to the humans of the same gender as them, the negative behavior can try to dwindle. Some negative behaviors won't be there to have a response.
But I know, boys will be boys!
Oh and to the male authors that do write positive self-improvement and advice books for men, Thank You!!!
As Always, Talking to You In Adult Terms.
