why are men such BITCHES?

I know, the adage about men being from mars and women from venus (or nebulon or wherever) is true. Truly, the last few months have been a bizarre exercise in practicing patience. There has been, for lack of a better word, dis-ease in my relationship with Matt since the beginning of the year; a tug of war of the wills?

Men are delicate little flowers. They spend their entire time pretending that they aren't, that they don't have feelings and get hurt just like us. Somewhere along the line they were taught (by some asshole) not to cry cause then you're a fairy, to be tough and to beat shit up if you're mad or frustrated or just can't fucking get along. Anesthetizing themselves with booze and drugs, suffering from festering ulcers, colon and prostrate cancer and depression is where you end up toots if you don't "share" your feelings.

Women on the other hand, talk their shit out. We don't tend to supress. We go on talk shows, we host talk shows, we make a fortune in talk shows. We call all of our girlfriends (and some of our guy friends) and hash it out, ask opinions, listen to ourselves process. We write in journals, we purge ourselves of ugly ass feelings and by the time we face the object of our frustration, have mostly difused our reaction. Maybe we called you a fucking lazy asshole to our journal, but by the time we get to telling you about how we feel, we might have processed those feelings of hurt, anger, etc. enough that you'll never bear the full brunt of our wrath. I like leaving the nasty word hurling out of my fights. Better I yell at you on paper, than to your face. I can take the words back on paper, they were never set free.

I'm not saying that all women don't hold onto their shit. Some do! It manifesting itselfas awful skin, breast cancer, cervical cancer, infertillity, etc. In Indian philosophy, your 1st through 3rd chakras are going to be where you would take your pain. The root chakra being your 1st, at the base of your spin, your 2nd being in the region of your sexual organs and your 3rd in the place of your solar plexus.

Purge purge purge instead of harbor harbor harbor. Men should learn something from women. We might sound crazy initially, but we aren't just talking to ourselves all day long justifying our actions and feelings getting a biased opinion. We're polling the neighborhood, listening (sometimes begrudgingly) to different sides and weighing our options. Costs less in medication in the end.

WOW. That will be your reaction as well, once you click this link. I barely ever get to laugh so hard that I pee my pants, but the "Dancing Queen" rendition did it.
