The Enigmatic Woman: Y U SO MEEN?

Blog the Second:

Women. Yes, I believe that one word should constitute an entire sentence. What other word is so jam-packed with various meanings that you could hardly get them all out in less than an hour? Certainly not a word as simple as ‘men’. Eat, sleep, and sex: isn’t that the preferred stereotype? You might be surprised at how many people believe wholly that men are as shallow as a dried-up stream: just enough depth to come up with a new variation of “Violets are red, roses are blue, I have Chlamydia and now so do you” (Why yes, those are indeed mixed up. How astute of you.) While this is most definitely an adequate description of some men (I’ve even met a few of them here), it’s hardly the norm.

Why am I talking about this? Wasn’t this blog supposed to be about women, and not the social stereotypes about their sexual counterparts that are so happily perpetuated? Where’s the nearest bunker in case Skynet becomes autonomous? While I can’t help you with that last one(try Richmond), the others are fairly simple. I was recently conversing with a gal from back in high school. Let’s call her Daise. Daise is a gold digger. Yes, those are currently the nicest words I can think of to describe her. Quite simply, not a person I prefer to associate with (but I don’t turn away any distraction when in procrastination mode). I was still quite excited about the events which transpired the night before, and so I told her about them. After the initial round of picture sharing, her reaction: “Damn, she’s hot. ‘d ya fuck her?” Why no Daise, I did not in fact ‘fuck her’. A man is perfectly capable of enjoying a nice cuddle without trying to stick his penis somewhere. If you'd take your nose out of your boyfriend's checkbook every once in awhile, you might actually notice that.

  1. How are the two female stereotypes related, if they are at all? If not, what sets them apart? And why choose to write about women with these particular characteristics?

  2. While you may rant, I'm not quite sure what this has to do with observing a world that is particular to Berea.
