Oooh a hot topic.....
My mother hated feminist. She just wanted to be a good housewife. And they told her that she was (oh so many things). She was never a victim. She raised 4
kids alone and bought 3 houses and had many lovers. She had a good life.
I once was breaking up with a girlfriend and she jumped on me and started beating me. I twisted and she fell to the floor. I escaped her apartment and was confronted by her roommate as I was running to
safety. The roommate told me that if I ever hit my xxxx again that she would call the police. Nothing I could say in my defense. She and no one would believe me.
There was a girl when I worked for Intel that kept asking me to come to her house after
work. She had the hots for me. I don't know why. It was really annoying.
I was married to someone who was a queen bee. She needed to be the center of social
events. Her friends would call the house for her (she was never there) and comment on how I was a good dad and a
single parent.
My wife of 20 years is from
Ukraine. She does not understand American
women.

My mother died in the love of her life's arms.
The girl I broke up with went on to find someone that she truly loved and is happy.
One night at Intel I realized that the girl that wanted me to com e home with her was a nice person. I went home with her and we dated for about a year till she moved to Eugene for a job. It was a nice relationship.
The queen bee is married and retired. She has commented to our
kids that if she was not such a ****
head that we would be cruising the world now.
My wife from
Ukraine is a
women and proud to be one. She knows what she wants and the differences between
men and women are to be cherished.

We each have experiences in life that can inspire us or that can eat away at our souls. Women as victims were never part of the women in my life. Grandma shot the moose in the dude ranch in the '30s that everyone had their pictures taken with.
Power can be claimed from your achievements or by claiming your victim
hood status. The women that had the most to do with my forming years were very powerful and not at all victims.

Wow did I really write this? Can I actually post this?
