Black women and Black men should register these facts in their subconscious mind.

No man can truthfully play the role of a woman. Nor is a woman created to mentally or physically be cast into the function of a man. When right cycles are broken, both physical and mental decay sets in. The wrong cause will only yield the wrong effects. As a result of violation of the ordinances of God, the family is in a state of decay. If that is not bad enough, so are each of the individual members - men, women and children. They are out of cycle and totally confused, possessed by an evil element. As a starter, a re-defi ning by Godly defi ners of what constitutes a family is desperately needed. It is outr ageous to include or legalize live-in lovers or homosexuals as families and thus give intellectual credibility to this type of confusion as experts have done in America. Doing so has not and will not work or solve the problems in the African American and human family. They have only compounded the problem by equating the misnomers “live-in” or homosexual mates with family. The problem is the failure to structure families and socigties based on Truth, a sense of respect and account ability to the laws governing the cycles of life. Solomon stated, “seek wisdom and knowledge, but above all things, get thee an understanding.”
Within the cycles of right, both men and women have been given sense to guide them in day-to-day living in a relationship of love of God and each other. They, at times, do special things for each other. Then there are times that call for something beyond the call of duty, when men will change the diapers, handle the wash, serve his wife breakfast in bed, take the baby for a walk, mop the fl oor, clean the house and even handle the shopping. Some of these things can be somewhat amusing and fun while bringing mutual pleasure and probably lots of laughter. Nevertheless, you must make a difference between doing things to offer needed assistance and doing them as a continuous action or your “role” in the family. Many of the above-mentioned require the continuous action of a female. No man can provide that necessity and remain of sound masculine character. This is why we fi nd that a righteous society will have laws that systematically call for community living and community concern to structure and oversee the roles within the home. A God-inspired lifestyle automatically brings with it brotherhood and sisterhood. A situation developing that requires a man to strap the baby on his front or back or grab the stroller is not a sin or

violation of the ordinances of God. But as a continuous action, the presence of a woman is required for the sake of the family, the children, husband, wife, community and nation. It will prevent the development of perverted idealism and perverted people, thus inevitably becoming sin. In order for the proper roles of the man and woman to be maintained, in the absence of a woman, either the family, the community or nation has to provide assistance.
It is not within the righteous nature of a man to provide continuous action that is of a feminine disposition. There is more involved in raising toddlers, washing diapers and preparing meals than what meets the carnal eye. There is a mood, a temperament and behavior that is essential and has to accompany all role models for both men and women. If an individual is cast out of cycle on a continuous basis, perversion is inevitable. We need not debate only watch. Let us briefl y review the contemporary movie industry’s portrayal of male and female roles. Men are being cast as cowardly,  squirrels, crying on screen like babies while the woman slaps his face and instructs him to “Get a hold of yourself!” Women are more and more the image of strength while men succumb to weak rabbit roles. Then there are a few men being cast as super heroes. Yet, they don’t come off in their roles as manly men but as perverted strong men. Their screen dress and makeup reveals a feminine kind of strength. Something is missing. There are elements that make men always appear as men; they cried like men and they died like men. Without that element they can’t act like men.
