DICKSON: THE MISOGYNIST

The replies under the romantic exchange with Ada were not uncommon and frankly, not unexpected. I have seen similar responses under my old tweets when I am being light hearted.

Dickson focus, we are losing a patriarchy king, so you can be romantic?

Comments like this reinforces the perception that I am this stonewall, tough, unemotional person and it is why some ladies think I am unapproachable or look like someone who doesn't give to relate with women.

I have stated consistently that Masculinity and Patriarchy is not hate for women. It is not a fight against women. It is practically impossible to hate the other gender you share the world with and it is stupid to even think of doing so.

All I have done was to draw you into consciousness of your masculinity in order to lead and do right by your partner, love ones and society. I have preached against unrequited love and only asked that you get genuine love and not belittle yourself for validation or purchase love.

However, I can understand why there are unseemly perception of me. I have been grossly misunderstood by a number of people and if I don't address that, I enable the misunderstanding and the resulting consequences.

My message has been firm. My tone has been hard. My inflection has felt like a punch and I have not let insult slides. Whatever you perception is, I want to believe they did not arise out of thin air, it was your perception of my tweets.

I am not blind and I am not stupid. With a growing following, I have seen people obsessed with my tweets to a tee but what isn't right is the interpretation some people have and how it is being expressed through you.

You tag me to tweets where a lady is out of the norm because you expect a solid from me, you attack people that disagree with me, you see everything as an opportunity to wrestle women, you are desperate to be an alpha male - albeit a toxic one.

I am wary of cult following. As your account grows and the cheers get louder, if you can't stay firm, you find yourself trying to conform to the appeal of cheerleaders to stay relevant. You feed on the Stan culture and validation but those things come at a price.

For the record, please don not insult anyone on my behalf (I've said this before),if you like me or follow me because you think I'll help you fight women or think I hate women, younare wrong. I'll fight for you to have your voice and fight against shaming masculinity.

I do not and will not project hate against women and frankly, do not take pleasure in the gender battles on this app.

Talking about perception, K blame myself because I have spoken mostly about strength but I have not in equal measure spoken about chilvary and that is unfair.

That is unfair because I am possibly one of the most chivalrous person you'll ever meet or have met. I am not a stonewalled. I am actually a simple and decent person. My tone and inflections were hard be sure it was the way to drum the message into you.

I asked you to be masculine. I didn't ask you to be toxic.

I have been wrong, I have been dismissive, I have been hostile, I have retreated tweets that don't hold my values, I have verbally gone toe to toe with people here without giving a soft landing.

There are people that understand my tweets and I am grateful for that. However, I plan to drop the hard tone and inflections and tweet in more relatable terms. I an to be more engaging and less confrontational.

If those who know me in person feel like I am too hard on the TL, itbisndifgicukt to dismiss and those who have engaged me in the DM claim to prefer my personality in the DM.

I ordinarily would not care how you see me on the TL but it is pertinent to address this perception.

When a perception is held on for too long, it becomes the truth.

I am not a misogynist. I do not hate women. I am not here to fight women. I am not unemotional (I just prefer not to use it), I am not unapproachable. I am not a brickwall with a stone heart. I am not toxic.

I am not only a gentleman but a gentle person. I am chivalrous. I am not a wall flower but I can be quiet. I am simple, kind, friendly and honest.

I will use this paragraph to ask anyone who knows me or has chatted with me in the DM to quote their views of me - even enemies.

It is sad when I get DMs or calls or see tweets that my followers are abusive and discourteous. It is different when you are defending yourself from the abuses rampant here. But when you are being toxic unprovoked to prove you are an alpha or masculinity, you are wrong.

Masculinity is leadership. Leadership is responsibility. Masculinity has nothing to do with hating or fighting women or not relating with them - people you ought to cherish and protect.

However, don't let anyone disrespect you and belittle yourself for validation.

I don't usually use the word Alpha because it could easily push people into toxicity to show they are in charge. We all need to do better.

Stop telling me that I am losing focus when you see me with ladies. That is you projecting a poor perception of Masculinity.

Thank You.
