Act Like a Lady, Think Like A Man. GTFOH

****These are my own personal thoughts on the "Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man" philosophy. This is not a diss on the new Steve Harvey movie directed by FAMU Alum Will Packer.*****

      I applaud any & every effort to empower, enlighten, & positively encourage any Race or Sex, BUT if a woman realistically thinks that she can think like a man then that woman has truly LOST HER FUCKING MIND. Being the product of a single mother home (for the most part) gives me a tad bit of insight into the Manly role that a LOT of women have to play in today's society. So I do realize that some women have to take on a mans role, but that doesn't translate to thinking like a man. My mom taught me a lot about life as I grew up through her kind (& sometimes harsh) words & actions. But even she knew that there was just some things that she couldn't teach me. As a strong Black Woman she accepted it & like other strong women she made a way for me to learn what she couldn't teach me. She also made sure that I was surrounded by Men that could "show me the ropes". 
     Steve Harvey didn't write his book in order to give you women the secrets of the Male mind, he wrote it to make money off the low self esteem women that think this will give them deep insight into how not to get hurt again. I will agree that some useful info can be found in that book but the title leads some women to believe that it's possible, when it's really not. The book also serves as a warning sign for some women because you fail to see the obvious when dealing with the opposite sex. 
      From my reviews of the book, I don't see anything in there that us guys wouldn't consider "Common Knowledge" or G-14 Classified, but as some people say "Common Sense isn't Common".  So for the women out there that think they hold the key to the Male psyche in their hands........THINK AGAIN. Thinking like a man includes a lot of accepting BS, tolerance of Female habits (from Men & Women), Humility, & a whole lot of other things that would take me way to many posts to list. But I can give you info thirsty ladies one major tip that I think will help you greatly when dealing with the opposite sex, THINK LIKE A WOMAN. If God wanted you to think like a man then he would have made you one. Don't get caught up in trying to guess what he's thinking & trying to react before he acts. We will only put up with so much of your nagging, guessing games, accusations & BS, before we make you a statistic (Non-Violent Statistics). 
           Lastly, my #1 reason that I say Women cant think like men is because we have a little used 2nd brain called a Penis that makes the tough decisions for us. And the last time I checked, God didn't make Penises standard issue for Women. LOL

We Have Got To Do Better

         As  PROUD Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University GRADUATE, I feel a little bit personal about this post. We as a people must do better to help uphold the image of the African American people in positive manor. I say that to say this, we have got to stop supporting ignorance & condoning inappropriate public behavior. We have all these so called "Reality Shows" where the people on there at times seem more scripted & staged more than the day time Soap Operas that my grandma use to watch. When you represent these Institutions of Higher Learning, you represent everyone associated with them in one way or another so you have govern yourself accordingly. There is place & time for everything. Instead of uploading footage of "wild shit" why don't you upload footage of the protests & rally's of real people who's pensions, jobs, and salaries are on the line because of pending legislation. Or when you are BLESSED enough to be on a certain level where you are seen by so many people, that you display the utmost respect for you, everything, and everyone that you represent.
