Men, Ughhhh-For Those Times You Have To Bash Them

[WarDog69]

Heyyyy...I resent some of those remarks. I do know how to change a tire...even oil and brakes for that matter. I know a fair amount about sports....and a hell of a lot more than coaches that try to tell me I am wrong. I have a higher than average IQ, and while I have been pregnant I've never gone barefoot. I've imitated a punching bag several times for men and believe me...they lived to regret it. What do I get for being or knowing these things? I've been called a dyke, and a tomboy. I am neither of these. I am simply a woman who has learned that I don't need to depend on a man for much of anything. Oh yea, it's nice to have them around when the trash needs to be dragged out to the street, but thank god someone invented trash cans with wheels. I am a woman that has worked for years butting heads with men. I am sick and tired of assumptions that because I am female I can't know how to do a job and having to prove myself to those same opinionated assholes. Maybe I would fare better if I grabbed my crotch on occasion, belched, and farted....but I'm sorry..I have better manners than that and I refuse to lower my standards just to be accepted. I've learned that many men will try to shove me into a neat little stereotype, but I don't have to stay there. Who or what I am is dependant upon me and no one else...not their stereotypes, not their opinions, but on my actions and my merits alone. I am damn good at the things I do and there is not a man that will ever again drag me down unless he choses to use pure brute strength and even then ..in the end I will know I won because they were so afraid of matching my wit, my intelligence they had to resort to force.
Would this be a good time to say, "I am woman, hear me ROAR?"

damn that was well said!

It is all called *INDEPENDENT*. Spooky word for most males...some admire strength in a woman some are afraid of it.

From a Woman...
I got flowers today. It wasn't my birthday or any other special day.
We had our first argument last night, And he said a lot of cruel things that really hurt me.
I know he is sorry and didn't mean the things he said.
Because he sent me flowers today.

I got flowers today. It wasn't our anniversary or any other special day.
Last night, he threw me into a wall and started to choke me. It seemed like a nightmare.
I couldn't believe it was real. I woke up this morning sore and bruised all over.
I know he must be sorry,
Because he sent me flowers today.

I got flowers today, and it wasn't Mother's Day or any other special day.
Last night, he beat me up again. And it was much worse than all the other times.
If I leave him, what will I do? How will I take care of my kids? What about money?
I'm afraid of him and scared to leave.
But I know he must be sorry,
Because he sent me flowers today.

I got flowers today. Today was a very special day.
It was the day of my funeral.

Last night, he finally killed me. He beat me to death.
If only I had gathered enough courage and strength to leave him, I would
not have gotten flowers today.

omg ,how sad..

This is something a friend gave me a while back. It was to remind me that there are differences bewteen weakness and strength in a man and that just because it appears that I have run into more of the weak, not to classify them all as that. It has made me sit back and remember to judge each individual..man, or woman...on the merit of their actions.

The Strength of a Man
The strength of a man isn't in the deep tone of his voice.
It's in the gentle words he whispers.
The strength of a man isn't how many buddies he has.
It's how good of buddies he is with his children.
The strength of a man isn't in how respected he is at work.
It's in how respected he is at home.
The strength of a man isn't in how hard he hits.
It's in how tender he touches.
The strength in a man isn't in the hair on his chest.
It's in his Heart . . . that lies within his chest.
The strength of a man isn't in the weight he can lift.
It's in the burdens he can carry.
--Sermon Fodder

I have to say it's not the easiest thing at times to remember this. I suffered for years at the hands of my ex's verbal abuse and I have to say I would have preferred to have been beaten. Physical wounds heal so much more quickly than emotional ones and so often I can still feel the wounds I suffered. Emotional scars don't heal as easily, they sit.....fester, and are like an infection that takes root in your system and surfaces for many years to come. It is an infection I strive to combat to this day, to not let it grab hold and affect my present day because then the effects of that infection will have the power to control my life. I don't hate men in general, but I do hate the way some men have made me feel.

Kikmosa I'm sure that noone took anything you said about men in general to heart, I think this was meant as a venting thread. I know that I havent taken any of the insults here personally, because I know that I'm.. what were we talking about? I was trying to listen but your breasts distracted me

You mean these old things? Well maybe I should just remove them from your view. After all, we wouldn't want anyone to say that I took unfair advantage of you. I mean, we all know that a man can't look and think at the same time. Want a blindfold?

Ok, sorry for dragging this from the depths of Lit but I just had to share these......

Humor For The Girls

My husband came home with a tube of KY jelly and said, "This will make you happy tonight." He was right. When he went out of the bedroom, I squirted it all over the doorknobs. He couldn't get back in.
*****************
A couple is lying in bed. The man says, "I am going to make you the happiest woman in the world" The woman says, "I'll miss you."
**************
"It's just too hot to wear clothes today," Jack says as he stepped out of the shower, "honey, what do you think the neighbors would think if I mowed the lawn like this?" "Probably that I married you for your money," she replied.
*************************
He said - Since I first laid eyes on you, I've wanted to make love to youreally badly. She said - Well, you succeeded.
***********************
He said - Shall we try swapping positions tonight? She said -That's a good idea...you stand by the ironing board while I sit on the sofa and fart.
**********************
He said - What have you been doing with all the grocery money I gave you? She said - Turn sideways and look in the mirror!

Q: What do you call an intelligent, good looking, sensitive man?
A: A rumor..........

Miracle Product
Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of Tampax and proceeded to the check-out counter. The man at the counter asked the older boy, "Son, how old are you?" "Eight" the boy replied. The man continued, "Do you know how these are used?" The boy replied, "Not exactly, but they aren't for me. They're for my brother, he's four. We saw on TV that
if you used these you would be able to swim and ride a bike. He can't do either one".
**************************
A Good Come-back
A flight attendant was stationed at the departure gate to check tickets. As a man approached, she extended her hand for the ticket, and he opened his trench coat and flashed her. Without missing a beat she said, "Sir, I need to see your ticket, not your stub."


*giggle* Have a good day!

Did you hear about the miracle baby born in CA today?




Had a penis AND a brain!

Okay, really now.
As much as many men are total assholes, some of us do actually earn our keep.

And, BTW, I do the dishes, laundry, clean the house, shop, cook, run(used to) after the kids, take care of them(now they just call when they need something).
Also bring home the bacon, fix the cars, mow the lawn, build the house, rebuild the truck, etc, etc, etc....
many men are from mars, women from venus, some of us are just from earth....
