Time for Men to Get Equal to Women: Potta Getthu
Time for Men to Get Equal to Women: Potta Getthuđź’—
For too long, society has excused bad behavior—especially from men—with lines like:
“She was dressed like that, what do you expect?”
“He just lost control.”
Let’s be clear: Self-control, respect, and emotional maturity aren’t optional—they’re essential.
Women are taught these values from a young age while men are raised with entitlement, often told the world owes them everything; so they can be reckless.
Sure, not every woman always gets it right—but that doesn’t erase the fact that women are emotionally better equipped than men.
Now it’s time men caught up.
Here Are Key Values Men Must Learn From Women 👩🏫
đź’Ş 1. Self-Control: Stop Blaming Outfits and Situations
- Self-control is the ability to choose your actions—regardless of external factors.
- No one’s clothing, behavior, or words “provoke” violence or harassment.
- 🍇 Consent is not optional. Respect is not negotiable.
⏳ 2. Patience: Learn to Pause Before You React
- Patience isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom.
- It’s about taking a breath, thinking things through, and acting responsibly.
- Women often develop this skill because they’re judged constantly. Men must learn it too—because impulsive reactions create problems, not solutions.
⚖️ 3. Common Sense: Understand the Difference Between Rights and Crimes
- Common sense means recognizing the line between freedom and abuse.
- Having rights doesn’t mean hurting others or breaking the law.
- Many women already understand this balance, constantly navigating between defending themselves and being judged for it. Men need to follow suit.
đź—Ł️ 4. Handling Rejection & Choosing Dialogue Over Violence
- Rejection isn’t humiliation—it’s just part of life.
- Far too often, men react aggressively when faced with rejection.
- Violence doesn’t make you stronger—respectful dialogue does.
- Learning to accept “no” with grace is a true sign of maturity.
🪞 5. Self-Awareness: No One Is Above the Law
- Self-awareness is about knowing you’re not untouchable.
- Women are more self-aware because we live in a world built by men for men.
- Meanwhile, men think they can get away with anything. Statistics don't lie; most crimes are done by men.
- Men must stop believing they can act without consequence. The law applies to everyone equally—no exceptions.
The Bigger Truth: Equality Works Both Ways 🔄
Here’s the hard truth:
👨🦱 Most violent crimes? Men.
👩🦰 Most demands for equal rights? Women.
If society expects women to “compete” with men for rights and opportunities, it’s only fair for men to match women in emotional intelligence, self-restraint, and respect.
This isn’t about superiority.
It’s about balance, fairness, and learning from each other.
✊ #Pottagetthu — Be Proud of Emotional Intelligence
In some places, words like “potta” are used to insult men who show sensitivity or softness.
But here’s a new perspective:
#pottagetthu — it’s a badge of honor to show empathy, control, and wisdom.
Be proud to be a person of grace. Be self aware and careful so you don't hurt others.
Strength isn’t just physical—real strength lies in self-restraint, kindness, and respect.
⚠️ Important Note: These Values Don’t Apply in Abusive Situations
This message isn’t about glorifying silence or tolerating abuse.
- In cases of violence, harassment, or abuse, restraint isn’t noble—it’s dangerous.
- Rithanya’s restraint isn’t exemplary—it’s deadly.
- Silence, patience, and restraint in the face of abuse isn’t strength—it’s survival forced upon victims.
This post is about preventing people from being blinded by rage, entitlement, or the false belief that they have the right to harm others.
It’s a call for emotional awareness, so we don’t use power, rejection, or ego as an excuse for violence.
