BTW: This was written before I even saw Anthony's post..... Nothing personal was directed towards him or anyone else.....
(FYI: Webster's dictionary very simply defines the word "misogyny" as "hatred towards women".... "misandry" is hatred towards men)
No one is more clearly or keenly aware of the differences between men and women than I am..... And of course, I realize that close associations (read marriage or simple cohabitation) can produce the most profound levels of rancor and anxiety from time to time. I believe this can be explained by the simple fact that mankind despises "that which it does not understand". And, although the word "man" is most clearly evident in that reference, this fault lies with women as well.
Men and women have been fighting since soon after the creation of the species. We have unfortunately decided to simply direct our hostilities towards each other rather than making any attempt whatsoever at addressing the real causes of our frustration....Mainly, bloody closed mindedness and an unwillingness to actually love and understand others.
Am I innocent of these charges? Shit no...
I often become frustrated with the apparent lack of understanding between my wife and myself...... Do I sometimes feel like bashing my head against the frikking wall because we can't seem to "get it together" when doing a joint project.....? Unequivocally, YES. But, I love and appreciate my wife too much to (even privately) cut down "her kind" in general.
This kind'a shit is childish and destructive in so many ways. It only serves to further divide and destroy the potential for harmony between men and women. It exemplifies the same kind of closed mindedness as racism and ethnic hatred.
True, women (in their own inimitable way) can be the most conniving, underhanded, devious, ruthless and rapacious beings on earth.... especially when a close relationship turns to shit. But what (I believe) really pisses men off most is the cold, hard fact that women are alot better at this shit than men are..... And us guys HATE being bested by anyone, let alone a 'mere' woman.
Think about that next time you decide that it's funny, cool or macho to speak ill of your wife, girlfriend or the opposite sex in general. Because it's probably nothing more than an admission of your own fear and of the simple childish insecurity which motivates you.
Yes, women bash men and vice versa. But both of them are wrong.....
Certainly, we cannot continue as a species without each other...... And there's obviously something emminently profound about our attraction to each other. Why not take a hint from nature, go with the flow and stop cutting each other down with cheap shots every frickin' chance we get..?
Who knows....?..... We might even get our 'ashes hauled' more often.....
Now, howza 'bout we all hit the Sunday Brunch at Denny's.
