M.A.L.E.hood is a concept that was created when several like-minded gentlemen realized collectively that the way most guys think, act & operate today is not the way that MEN should. So M.A.L.E.hood is basically what your father/grandfather/uncle/any good male role model should have or would have told you if they had the chance or knew what to say. Many of us did NOT have a decent father or any type of good male influence coming up, & it's not too hard to see the results. Outside of society, its caused many problems for us as boys. What to do, when to do, how to do, why I should do, where to do, and even who we should do. We've had to enroll in the School of Hardknocks & learn our lessons the best way we could, from whoever seemed to know more than we did. Some things we got right. Many we did not.
But thats all in the past. Some of us have emerged and done pretty well for ourselves. We've graduated into MANHOOD & now we're passing on the things we've learned & are STILL LEARNING on to those who are hungry for the heads up. We've gone through it so YOU DON'T HAVE TO. As guys we're taught to be independent, not ask for help, and never show weakness. Sorry, but that is total BULLSHIT. A man is NEVER independent if he doesn't know WHEN to depend. A man is ALWAYS helpless when he DOESN'T know how to ask for help. And a man is NEVER weak when he knows his weaknesses and tries to strengthen them. So stay tuned, soak up the wisdom in this blog, ask questions, and remember, we are ALL brothers striving for manhood...but first, you gotta go through M.A.L.E.hood-
Welcome to blogger. I like what you guys stand for, can't wait to see/read what you'll be bringing to the table.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Unknown! Good to kno you'll be keeping an eye on us. Looking forward to seeing input from you in the future & your support. Please spread the word, especially to male friends & those you think would benefit. -Donny
ReplyDeleteI love how you said, " we... learn our lessons the best way we could, from whoever seemed to know more than we did." <-- especially the part about "whoever seemed to know" bc most times those ppl are just as lost as you are.
ReplyDeleteGreat intro. iSupport. :-)
That's all too tru, Joi. Its why so many males walk around w/ their own flawed idea of what being a man is about. & women, children, the world & even they themselves are paying for it. Please share w/ those who might benefit, male & female -Donny
