Will all the real men please stand up

I watched bits and pieces of the 2015 Espy awards and one of the parts that I caught was Bruce Jenner receiving the Arthur Ashe award for Courage. Now I don’t have a problem with Bruce deciding to embark on this journey, high-five to him, but to receive an award for it. Really?

What he decided to do was a personal choice, nothing award worthy. Danielle Green, a women who lost an arm in Iraq, and still decided to give back was better suitor. If Bruce can receive an award for deciding to be transgender then Ciara and Russell Wilson should receive an award for putting Jesus first in their relationship and deciding to be celibate in an over-sexed society.

But that’s not the most disturbing part, the disturbing part is seeing everyone stand up and applaud him. So you mean to tell me that in a room full of pro-athletes, actors and entertainers that no one had a problem with this? I have to admit I was waiting to at least see one look of disdain, but I didn’t. Is this really the behavior that we are awarding and is this really the message that we want to give our children. Have we forgotten how impressionable children are and how many watch this show?

A man who decides a to become a woman after three marriages and six children is what we call courage? So I say again will all the real men please stand up!
