I think I’ll call her Hope
for she will be the manifestation of the optimism I’ve had of finding you and loving you so much I can’t imagine not making something that is of us in every possible wayI think I’ll call her Serenity
For she will represent the peace my soul feels when yours is nearby

Could I be
Obsessed with you
Undressed by you
Entangled with you
Released from you
Thrown by you into the deep endJust so I could be
Caught by you
Caught up with you
Swept up in you
Swept away by—Naa, I’m not saying it right. Let me try this again
Could I be
Linked to you
Engaged by you

Why I Am a Male Feminist
The word turns off a lot of men (insert snarky comment about man-hating feminazis here) — and women. But here’s why black men should …be embracing the “f” word.
Like most guys, I had bought into the stereotype that all feminists were white, lesbian, unattractive male bashers who hated all men. But after reading the work of these black feminists, I realized that this was far from the truth. After digging into their work, I came to really respect the intelligence, courage and honesty of these women.
Feminists did not hate men. In fact, they loved men. But just as my father had silenced my mother during their arguments to avoid hearing her gripes, men silenced feminists by belittling them in order to dodge hearing the truth about who we are.
I learned that feminists offered an important critique about a male-dominated society that routinely, and globally, treated women like second-class citizens. They spoke the truth, and even though I was a man, their truth spoke to me. Through feminism, I developed a language that helped me better articulate things that I had experienced growing up as a male.
Feminist writings about patriarchy, racism, capitalism and structural sexism resonated with me because I had witnessed firsthand the kind of male dominance they challenged. I saw it as a child in my home and perpetuated it as an adult. Their analysis of male culture and male behavior helped me put my father’s patriarchy into a much larger social context, and also helped me understand myself better.
I decided that I loved feminists and embraced feminism. Not only does feminism give woman a voice, but it also clears the way for men to free themselves from the stranglehold of traditional masculinity. When we hurt the women in our lives, we hurt ourselves, and we hurt our community, too.

Marriage may not be your cup of tea. In which case, just spend the rest of your life with someone who does :)
