![]() BY Governor Allen Bird If you are a good man then act like it. When I was in UPNG, we stood up for women, defended them and treated them with respect. Today these women call us brother still. You are a good man when you stand up for those who are weaker then you. You are not a good man because you demand it. What we have just witnessed this past week at UPNG shows very weak character and a lack of appreciation for what constitutes acceptable human behavior in our country. During my time, girls could move around topless. Nobody groped them, ridiculed them or told them to cover up. There was nothing disrespectful about that. It was normal.
It seems some of our young men have adopted a Taliban mentality where women are supposed to cover from head to toe. Need I remind you all that our ancestors wore only a loin cloth, shell kambang or mini grass skirt for the women and girls. All right thinking citizens will criticize your behavior and rightly so. You have clearly demonstrated by your own behavior that you need a serious adjustment to your mental attitude. Your ability to articulate arguments also needs improvement because there is nothing intelligent about it. If there are any good men left in UPNG then we need to see you first of all apologize to our women and girls, the University lecturers and the country for your silly, thoughtless and unacceptable behavior. The first act of a Good Man is to acknowledge when he is wrong, ask for forgiveness and make amends. Right the wrong. Then we need you all to behave like good men so we can see it in your attitude. Treat women with respect. If you say you are the elite then act like it. If you say you are the future leaders: act like it. If you say you are a good man then act like it. Otherwise, the future leaders of PNG will not be coming from UPNG. You cannot be elite, you cannot be a leader if first of all, you are not a Good Man. A good man lives by a set of behavioral principles, it's a way of life. Respect is given because you earned it. You can't demand respect by threats or intimidation because not everyone will be afraid of you.
