I hope that this article will help soften women's hearts towards men.  I'm not suggesting that women put up with abuse, neither sex should not tolerate abuse, but I am suggesting that women realize that they are half the problem in relationships.  It's not all "men's fault."  I hear all the time from women how men abuse them, use them, etc. and yet, I watch these same women be attracted to abusive men who are users and label them "real men."  I also know many kind-hearted, devoted guys who have been emotionally abused, used and "beaten up" by women.  Many women don't realize how abusive they really are because they do not understand a man's vulnerability.
 
This article may offend you.  I'm sorry if it offends you, but it is written from the depths of my own heart as a man, a man who has tried to be honest, caring and loving his whole life.  I am a man who paid his child support in divorces, a man who really loved his children, a man who really cared for and sacrificed for his family, a man who gave his heart freely and lovingly in relationships and a man who feels unwanted and unappreciated in this modern world.

This article is a call for us to soften our hearts to each other, to be less materialistic and less self-centered.  This world is falling apart because people's hearts are becoming cold, hard and selfish.  We are being programmed to be that way by media and messages in society.  We're told to "have it our way."  This is not love, it is self-centeredness and it is destroying the fabric of our society.  It is tearing marriages apart and destroying families.
