I am heartily sick of strange men who don’t know me from the chick at the dry cleaners telling me what I HAVE to do or what I SHOULD do.
Boys, all I HAVE to do is stay white and die.
I don’t have to give you a chance. I don’t have to listen to your reasons. I don’t have to give you my attention or time. I don’t have to respect your point of view. In fact, I don’t have to do one damn thing…..except stay white and die.
Men have a most annoying habit of trying to make pronouncements on my life and well-being without knowing thing one about me. I’ve had men who didn’t even know my name telling me I NEED a man. I NEED a child. I NEED to get married.
Guys, y’all are all full of shit. Bags and buckets of steaming, reeking, vile shit.
All this telling me what I “need” is a thinly veiled attempt at telling me what YOU WANT. YOU want a woman. YOU want a child. YOU want to get married. And you direct these desires toward me as if I have some social or biological obligation to fullfil your wish list. Y’all have lost your collective minds. In psychological circles, telling me I need what you desire is called ‘projection’. Look it up sometime.
Men really seem to hate it when a woman can live without a man. And I mean REALLY hate it. When I calmly state that I don’t need a man, have no desire for a child and don’t feel a need to get married, they either ask what’s wrong with me or, most usually, proceed to tell me what’s wrong with me. Seriously, nothing is wrong with me. I promise…..I’m fine. But NOOOOO, they just tell me what they think (read: launch into insults) anydamnway.
–You just need to find the right man.
–You’re just bitter.
–Everyone needs at least one child.
–It’s not good for you to be alone.
–You need a man to help you.
–You must be a lesbian.
–You just hate men.
For the record, I am not a bitter, angry, man-hating lesbian. In fact, there have been dozens of men that I have loved and still do love. Just because I haven’t felt the need to move one into my house and wash his underwear doesn’t make me a homosexual nutcase with anger issues. What I hate and what makes me angry is random strangers who don’t know jack shit about me telling me what I should or should not do!
What. The. Fuck.
Women seldom do this and when they do it’s usually some brainwashed Jesus-freak who’s trying to reconvert me. They stop when I tell them I’m Pagan and I don’t need their Zombie worshipping cannibal/death cult. Women are nice like that.
Men, on the other hand, will not shut the fuck up about whatever they have their teeth into and try to browbeat or argue me into their way of thinking. (Like they have a chance at that!) I usually end up telling them off in eloquent and vivid terms that leaves them either confused or pissed off. And while that’s satisfying and oh, so enjoyable, it’s also time-consuming and I have shit to do. The fact that I have to tell them off speaks DIRECTLY to the disrespect most men shovel at women as standard operating procedure.
Gentlemen, and I use that term to loosely, get the fuck off my ass with your wants, needs and desires. Get over the fact that I don’t feel like I have to have a man to feel fulfilled or happy. Get over my independence and my childless state. In short, Get over me. I don’t need you and I never will. Oh, sure, I might WANT a man from time to time, but I can always borrow one and put him back when I’m done. Don’t tell me what I SHOULD do or how I HAVE to behave because I’m not listening.
And remember, boys, all I have to do is stay white and die.
