"Dude, look at her tits."
This phrase, to me, says it all. I've heard it said by male teenagers, kids, college students, married men...you name it. And even if they don't say it, I just KNOW they're thinking it. Why wouldn't they? Women notice men too. All the time, as a matter of fact. It's not necessarily that it's thought, or even that it's said; it's HOW it's said and to WHOM it's said.
Every married male I'm related to (by blood) has cheated on his wife. But are they divorced? No.
I realize that I do not think of men as people. I think of men as sex machines governed by their penises. I
I am attracted to men, but I have never been friends with a man simply for the sake of friendship. Nor have I ever really been around men on a regular basis. That is all going to change.
As an anthropology major, I am interested in all people in all societies, including my own. I also have often enjoyed getting to know people quite different than me. Now, I will attempt to get to know men.
What do they think? How do they think? Are they, in fact, human?
That said, this is going to be difficult. I will have to treat the men I already know and the men I don't know as people; something I do not do. I can't make derrogatory comments about them (except in this blog of course), and I have to try my best to appreciate and relate to them.
Fuck.
Hopefully this will make you smile. From the movie "When Harry met Sally"
ReplyDeleteHarry: You realize of course that we could never be friends.
Sally: Why not?
Harry: What I'm saying is — and this is not a come-on in any way, shape or form — is that men and women can't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way.
Sally: That's not true. I have a number of men friends and there is no sex involved.
Harry: No you don't.
Sally: Yes I do.
Harry: No you don't.
Sally: Yes I do.
Harry: You only think you do.
Sally: You say I'm having sex with these men without my knowledge?
Harry: No, what I'm saying is they all want to have sex with you.
Sally: They do not.
Harry: Do too.
Sally: They do not.
Harry: Do too.
Sally: How do you know?
Harry: Because no man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her.
Sally: So you're saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive?
Harry: No, you pretty much want to nail 'em too.
Sally: What if they don't want to have sex with you?
Harry: Doesn't matter because the sex thing is already out there so the friendship is ultimately doomed and that is the end of the story.
Sally: Well, I guess we're not going to be friends then.
Harry: Guess not.
Sally: That's too bad. You were the only person that I knew in New York.
