sparkle power…
A few months back there was a small gathering at my old apartment, just before the move. I wasn’t really apart of it (that’s a whole other story) so I’m in my room and I hear:
“We need a man here to open this jar”
“Or at least a real big butch lesbian”
(Could be funny, but I thought both statements were just sad, but I’m only going to respond to the first comment)
“… a man here to open this jar” Really? Now I know you’re on your third bottle of wine at 2pm on a Sunday afternoon, but that is never an excuse.
Now, this is where everyone rolls their eyes and cringes for the feminist rant that is about to come. Except, it’s not coming.
That’s right. I could careless about a stupid stance on not needing a man for anything, pro woman, fem-nazi shit. I hate that bullshit. I have a vagina and it makes me no better then you, in fact I could careless, sometimes I wish it wasn’t even there. Keep the bra burning fem-nazi pro woman loving bitches away from me.
The real issue here is the fact that men (and in this case I fear the men in these ladies lives) are being degraded and lowered to muscle, to having nothing to contribute but a primal expectation.
Now not saying a man’s primal instincts aren’t a good thing!
Now I will admit most guys are very good at opening jars, but I’m pretty good at it too!
It’s not a skill I list on my resume, shit I hope no one lists it on theirs.
I don’t know what the point of this post is. I guess I just want to say I like boys in my life (regardless of their ‘status’ or what have you) I like them not what they can DO for me. I mean doing for and just doing are different right?
If a man can’t open a jar, or reach something up high he is still a man. And that is a wonderful thing!
FACT: My all time favorite thing I saw on a resume that once crossed my desk: “I Sparkle!!”
SIDEBAR: I DO need a man to come show me how to program work my heat thermostat wall thinger. But that is using him for the brain!
this is why some women should be single! I’m happy to hear you weren’t apart of this gathering cause wow.
it might not have a point in your eyes but this is a great post as per usual.
i ditto every otehr time i left a comment saying you rock hard core! I once broke up with a girl because she used me for my muscle to much.
You should value your vagina more.

Carl — sometimes using your muscle is a good thing, but sorry to hear she took advantage….although I do enjoy that you don’t mention What muscle she used you for ;)

Fishy — why? when I have people like you to do it for me! :) thanks for the comment love.

Mike — My first comment! I left out the “MORE” in that sentence, that is what happens when you comment from the train. I have even MORE found intrigue! thanks for your comment.
Very good point although i think occasionally using a man for his muscle should be allowed!
