Insecurity

An open letter to all men:

Hello. I'm reaching out to you because, well, you're all sort of stupid when it comes to girls. (To the homosexual men out there, pretend this is about the more effeminate guys.)

You see, we're not your 'guy friends.' We don't like your shows of masculinity. We much prefer romance and flirting and laughter. Most of all, we like to know that you have emotions the same as we do. Maybe they'll never be on the same scale, but we want to know you at least FEEL.

Specifically, we want to know if you're vulnerable. Now, this is the part where you'll get uncomfortable because you're taught by society that you aren't supposed to be weak in any way. You're made fun of if you show weakness. But when you're alone with a girl who cares about you, and you care about her, there's no need for all that. We're really not going to emasculate you for being sincere. If anything, we'll be so shocked and awed by it that we'll be able to do nothing but jump on you and mack on you like crazy.

Think about that for a minute.

Now I'm going to tell you what you REALLY do when you feel insecure. You lash out at us. You bring us down to your level. You make us feel as insecure as you. So instead of feeling compassion for you, we get angry. Instead of wanting to ease your insecurity, we want to rip off your ball sac.

You see the problem here.

So, please, PLEASE stop being stupid. Stop thinking we're stupid guys with testosterone problems. Once you stop that, we'll stop being bitches.

Sincerely,
All Women
