I don’t care what you see splashed onto newspaper headlines, or written within that sassy blog you like.

I don’t care what politicians preach, or teachers teach; the undeniable, immutable, and immovable truth, is that the world needs men.

In fact, the world would come to a crashing, cataclysmic halt without them.

Take a look around around – Think about how many things are made possible by men, and the miraculous infrastructure that holds it all together.

Think about the utilities and resources we have within arms reach; the electricity, internet, food and water, and ask yourself how it arrived there.

The fact that we exist as we do, and have survived as a species for 300,000 years, building this impossible society together, is proof that men and women are not enemies, but a team, and a powerful one at that.

The sad thing is, our society is now so comfortable and seamless, so coddled and easy, that some of us are able to ask – ‘do we need men?’

Such a stupid question, ironically, is only made possible by the incredible, indispensable efforts of men, and saying such a thing is usually the calling card of an ignorant, deeply ungrateful brat, who’s entirely unaware of how much their lives are dependent on the very men they sneer at.

Men are essential. No less than women.
