a day late and a twenty short (hey inflation ...ok?) and all I keep thinking about are the good men and women who never give each other a fare shake. Wives dare not shake the boat and the men won't stand up. Where have all the cowboys and secret agents and knights run off to? (I'm a chick so it is natural for me to be looking for what I need but it goes both ways folks!)
It isn't as if it is some big deal. I do remember a time when the sexes were defined and lived mostly amicably together. Yes I would say I am half feminist but I am half male chauvinist pig too. I see the points on both end. I am also to blame as well as all of you. But I, at least, have a better excuse as it is my nature to my species that I am dominant and never yielding. You all don't have that excuse. Men don't want to be "men" anymore. This is not a gay bashing ploy or reference here. When was the last time a door was held open? When was the last time he would walk a half pace behind you with his hand gently on your forearm guiding you as if in a romantic waltz when you walk together? Where is the lighter kept in his pocket to light your cigarette before you even have it out of the case? (I do carry a case-hard shell antique for just such a man!) These things have disappeared. Men have left their homes and left children fatherless and forced the mom to go to work and then come home for her second shift. Even now the father's who are at home go to work and she goes to work but when they get home it's "quiet time" or "tv time" and everyone has to "cow tow" to him. But when she gets home she has the shopping to put away and dinner to cook and laundry to do and so on...I see this everyday. There are very few men out there who know how to be "men" and everyone of them will tell you it's because we don't act like women. And I'm afraid to say it but they're right. Most of us don't act like women because we have no choice but there are some who choose not to because they feel they want their fifteen minutes of fame while trying to break some sexist barrier that need not be broken. We all need to get along and just BE ourselves!
Yes as I have said there are problems with both the sexes and each could sling their own fair share of mud in the war between the two. What I want to know is why can't we just stop it all and start over and try to propel each other forward in appreciation of each's differences rather than trying to decide who is more important than whom. If a child is left motherless at birth because his mom bled out, the father is more than able to take care of the infant. It has been shown time and again. And when the dad's leave or die we women all step up and play mom, dad and coach to our tots. So why can't we all do this together? Why can't he come home from work and do the dishes and help with the laundry or get dinner started while mom is out grocery shopping? Understand this, NO ONE wants to be the one to do the dirty work or to be considered less than. We all need to do it fairly and squarely. I will be your Ms. Vivianne if you be my Edward Lewis...men all want a mom in the home to do things for them and a whore in the bedroom, and find that when they enslave the wife to be their mom they don't like the frumpy bitch who is tired and worn out. Then they seek another whore to replace the one they thought they had who they claim let herself go. Women want a man who is dangerous and protective and a good provider but also want to be dangerous and protective and a provider and then get sick of the meek poor excuse of a man that they have been providing for and protecting. Both are wrong. Get with this people. It isn't women's work to wash your drawers anymore than it is men's work to mow the lawn. My dad cooked and did laundry. I have mowed lawns and shoveled snow...Wake up-we are putting a great divide between each other and what we have left are two peoples who don't even want to make an effort and our kids raising themselves and showing their crotches on television and cameras and internet for attention. Things need to change, and I hate to say it they need to simplify and right quick, think on it.~mobe's love to her all and her all to her loves.
