Since there's a lot of bashing men these days I thought we should start a hashtag or a movement for the opposite, at least in this sub. :-)

Write down a nice thing a man has done for you today that was uncalled for and tag it, #Men are Kind. We can push this on social media, too!

It should be something random or uncalled for, not something routine that was agreed upon beforehand. I get your bf is great but it's not about something you expect. There's no obligation involved because it's different to do something out of obligation instead of love.

Men support our society and get no gratitude for it. Good men are everywhere! We should make it a priority to talk about what we want or value in men instead of only pointing out bad behavior. The bad apples get enough attention, let's stop that.

I had two things happen to me. I was at the clinic and a man scooted aside and told me that I could sit on the bench next to him, I stand because I know it's polite and didn't want to disturb him. Instead of scoffing at his manspreading I was quietly being polite and waited for him to go first to his appointment, but he didn't. He let me sit, then let me go ahead of him when I was called. I thanked him and that made him smile a little.

Later, I was at a health store couldn't afford the tea I needed for my sore throat and the male cashier stopped me and took money out of his own pocket to pay for it! I was so touched. It was only 75 cents but I don't make a lot and neither does he so I felt cared for in a very fatherly way. I thanked him and that left a smile on my face.

The last example is not me personally but it speaks volumes. It was in an account of a survivor of 9/11. Her male colleague stepped in front of her to shield her with his body when the first tower collapsed (they were in the WTC and didn't know the second plane would hit). I really felt how beautiful it is that man is willing to sacrifice himself for a woman.

Guys, men are good. I have my share of bad experiences but men and women can act in very cruel ways. I've been groped, I've been harassed and verbally abused but it's not men, just human nature. As women we have the responsibility of being the fairer sex and being kind no matter what, instead of resentful and cruel and demanding and harpies. Men aren't obligated to do anything for us. They do it out of the big bear love in their hearts and I just think we should acknowledge that more often. The more you notice good in your world the more it tends to happen to you!

What do you think ladies?
