I kekahi manawa,ʻike mākou i keʻano o ko mākou poʻe kāne e huli ai i ka hema a me ka'ākau, a ke huli nei hoʻi lākou e nānā i mua - a ke kau nei ko lākou mau manaʻo a pau i ke kiʻekiʻe o ke kaikamahine maikaʻi. Akā,ʻaʻole i ka manaʻo o nā kānaka i nāʻano hoihoi o nā wahine, akā no nā wāhine. He aha kāu e manaʻo ai i ka wā e hele ai ka nani o ka nani me ka nānā aku i nā maka nui? Keʻano o ka huāhuā, ka hōʻino o ka lunamanaʻo ma hope o nā manaʻo hoʻopiʻi, pehea lāʻoe e hoʻonele ai iā ia i kēia mau leʻaleʻa, a iʻoleʻo ia ke mahalo nui?
I ka nānā muaʻana,ʻo ke aloha wahineʻo ia ka umauma, ka pū'ī, ke kuʻi a me nā wāwae, akā he iki kēia. ʻO nā maka wahine he mau maka a he maka maka, he lehelehe, he lauoho, lima, nā manamana lima a me nā kui.ʻO ia wale nō ka mea a kekahi wahine. ʻO ka leʻaleʻa ka mea like a kekahi wahine'ē i hoʻokaʻawale nona iho ma kekahi wahine'ē aʻe. ʻAe, mai kinohi mai,ʻo ka umauma e hina a me nā mea i lalo. Pēlā i'āponoʻia e ko mākou poʻe kāne ma kā lākouʻike mua a me kaʻike. Pēlā nō.
No laila, pehea ka nui o nā wāhine, ka nui o nā aloha, a me ka nui o nā wāhine i ka leʻaleʻa. ʻO kekahi me keʻano mahalo e nānā i ka hoa noho a hoahana paha a makemake iā ia iho i nāʻano, e hoʻonāukiuki iā ia iho me nā meaʻai a me nā hale hoʻolimalima, aʻo kekahi me ke inaina e nānā aku i ke kaikamahine hoʻokahi a makemake ia i ka weliweli weliweli, aʻo kekahi i kēia mau leʻa a me ke akamai hoʻohana lākou iā lākou no ko lākou mau kumu pono'ī. ʻO kekahi mau manaʻo wahine no kēia mau mea hauʻoli ua lohe au i nā lehelehe o koʻu mau hoaaloha a me nā hoa.
He hoʻokahi aʻu hoaaloha e nānā ana i ka'ōwili, lush a me ka umauma kūpaʻa a'ōleloʻo ia "Ua makemake au e lele i luna iā ia inā he kanaka wau." ʻAʻole,ʻaʻole, he kāneʻoiaʻiʻoʻo ia, aloha i nā kāne a heʻohana kona,ʻo ia wale nō kekahi o nā manaʻo wahine i nā leʻaleʻa o kekahi wahine'ē aʻe. Ke manaʻo nei au he wahine wale nō ka mea i loaʻaʻole nā palapilikia a me ka'ōlelo maikaʻi e hiki ai ke'ōlelo pēlā no kekahi wahine. ʻAʻoleʻo ia e nānā wale aku i ka manaʻo o nā kāne i nā manaʻo wahine, akā, e hōʻike pū ana hoʻi i kona manaʻo a me kona mahalo. Ma kaʻuʻike,ʻike nui nā kaikamāhine i ke alohaʻole a makemakeʻole i nā poʻe iʻoi aʻe i kaʻoihana pono'ī, e uhi ana i kaʻeleʻeleʻeleʻele.
ʻO kekahi o koʻu mau hoa e hoʻomaka nei e'ōlelo i ka'ōlelo kolohe i konaʻikeʻana i kahi kaikamahine maikaʻi, a laila maopopoʻo ia inā he hauʻoli a hoʻowahāwahā pahaʻo ia. E like me kā Janina Ipokhorskaya i'ōlelo aku ai, "ʻO ka nānāʻana o kekahi wahine i kekahi, e hoʻomanaʻo mai ana iaʻu i ka mālamaʻana i nā ukana ma nā customs." Nānā mau nā wāhine i kekahi i kekahi me ke kūlana maikaʻi, me ka manaʻolana e loaʻa i kahi pōʻino e hoʻopaʻi ai i ka pōʻino o ka pono,ʻo ka poʻe i nānā muaʻole i ka uku.
Aʻo kaʻoiaʻiʻo, he nui ka mahalo. ʻOiai, ke mahalo mau nei wau, a i koʻu manaʻo paha, "Inā makemake wau i kēia ..." i koʻuʻikeʻana i ka mea i hoʻonui maikaʻiʻia, maikaʻi i hoʻohālikelikeʻia, a he meaʻole paha inā hukiʻia ke kiʻi me ke kōkuaʻana mai o kahi huelo pelekiki a mai keʻano maoli iho i ka mea leʻaleʻa. ʻAe, a ua loaʻa mai iāʻoe mai keʻano o nāʻano mele e pono aiʻoe e mālama iā lākou, a he mea nui kēia e hoʻonuiʻia ai ka manawa a me ke kālā.
Ma nā limaʻoihana o ka mea nona ka waiwai, hiki i kekahi'āpana o ke kino ke lilo i mea ho'āʻo a makemake i nā kāne, e hana i ka huāhuā i nā wāhine, me ka mākaukau kūpono. ʻAʻole ia i loko o ka pahu nui aiʻole i ka papa pope. ʻO keʻano e pili ana i kou hilinaʻi iāʻoe iho a me ka hōʻike pono iāʻoe iho i nā poʻe'ē aʻe. Pehea kou manaʻo, pēlāʻoe eʻike ai i nā poʻe a puniʻoe. E hoʻomanaʻo i kēia!
