The unmentioned might of a woman

This article is written from the point of view of a man .The reason why I say so it is because he says that the stability from a partnership incorporating the presence of a man as a formidable tank .By saying that he is praising the woman for being there for him.
The article reflects values and attitudes of a relationship.There is prejudice ,stereotyping or discrimination ,that is typically against woman on the basis of sex.In the article there is a sentence that says you are a woman and have powers that go beyond the ignorance of a man because “what are man to rocks and mountains ?”.There is appreciation ,as he says that you should be honoured and praised everyday as simply being in your presence is enough reason for celebration.Grattitude is there too, as he says that but I leave you with these words ,thank you.
I agree with the writer’s portrayal of men in the article .The article says that men hide their feelings behind well-built barriers made of emotionless expressions ,which are then mistakenly identified as power despite the fact  that by not facing their emotions ,they are unable to handle them when push actually comes to shove-leaving them filled with emotions which clouds their judgement.In this society that we live in it is well known that men are tougher that women and it is rare to see a man crying/sad.In this lifetime if a man is raped it is very rare to find that he reported the matter to the relevant people.The reason being what will people/society say?they will call me a sissy or a weakling if they hear this whereas it is believed that men are strong then he keep quite.Same goes for sexual harassment(sexual coercion) and domestic violence they are hardly reported even though some men report it but they are few.If you have been physically traumatised and you do nothing about that you experience flashbacks,depression,post trauma stress and others so it would be better if men would leave this stereotype of ‘men are strong”
I find the writer style of writing effective as he used the persuasive writing style .In persuasive writing we rely on specific details and examples for support ,however persuasive writing does not rely heavily on facts  .In the article the writer managed to express his opinion about women without relying on any facts but his opinion.He managed to be forceful and dramatic to convince the reader as he says that your ability to truly express your emotions without fear  is only a testament of how strong you are .He also managed to exaggerate the details about the article to affect the reader in a more emotional way than in an expository type of writing.When he says that I sometimes would look at you and see a thorn in my side – a pest who never stops provoking or infuriating my inner being with your endless questions and tiresome, meaningless conversations.
