Some
men I do know (unfortunately) also boss me around and try to tell me
what to do. I knew one older guy who told me to read a book. It ended
up being Siddhartha and here he was spouting a bunch of nonsense
about how inspirational it all was, saying, "Once you read it,
you'll realize what it's all about". I had to interrupt his long
spiel (when I had a chance to get a word in) and say, "I read it
in high school, but thanks anyway". Or worse yet, they say to
me, "I don't know if this book is your thing,
it might be too cerebral for you..." Um no, dumb-ass,
I've already read Einstein and found it hilarious that he thinks the
universe has no end (or was that Hawking?).
I
read a lot and any man who thinks he knows more than I do, just
because he's read a bunch of books by dumb-ass men,
really doesn't know diddly-squat. The funny thing is, whenever I ask
these men what books they've read by women--they become speechless!
They don't freaking know! Or they'll say something stupid like: "Oh,
you mean something like Fifty Shades of Grey?". This is the
point where I just shake my head and start ignoring them.
The
unfortunate truth is, these men think they are smart!
They don't even know how idiotic they are. These men start talking
philosophy, quoting old dead men but when they're asked about real
life, all they can do is regurgitate the same quote, over and over.
And
their view of women is even worse...
The
same, supposedly intelligent men, think women should stay at home and
have their babies. That's it! Women are not capable of enlightenment.
"Oh you don't need to worry your pretty little head about that,
just stay home and have the babies!" They say. Forget about
women's rights or anyone else's rights for that matter--they don't
believe stupid people
should have the right to vote. I've often heard them say, "Well
if they're not interested in politics, they shouldn't vote."
Never mind how insane politics are in general and that your vote
doesn't count (unless you're a lobbyist).
I've
heard nasty stories from these elitists about how they think stupid
people shouldn't breed (uh, according to you, aren't women the stupid
people? Should we not breed?). How society should be controlled by
the intelligent elite and that stupid people are cattle to be herded
around blindly.
To
me, it sounds a lot like what Hitler was saying about the Jews... Oh
yeah! These supposedly intelligent people also put Hitler on a
pedestal for some strange twisted reason I can't comprehend. They've
all read Mein Kampf as if it were some bible to follow. Disgusting!
Basically,
any man that would think they can tell a woman what to do, is
obviously very stupid and foolish. Silly men, the world is
for WOMEN!
Not
that I expect to tell a man what to do, I don't do that sort of
thing. I believe everyone should be equal and have their own mind.
It's a give-and-take relationship but if you find they are 'giving'
too much advice without even considering your side or 'taking' too
much of you for granted--it's time to ditch the loser and move on!
Since
I am more intelligent that these men, I try to say nothing most of
the time. A few times I had to 'correct' someone who was out of line
(a despicable man joking about how pretty women are the first to get
pregnant, strip clubs, etc.). I know stupidity can't be cured or
solved by such means.
Ignorance
can be tolerated but not such blind stupidity--such blatant stubborn
stupidity. These people are not capable of having an intelligent
thought which requires analysis, introspection, empathy and careful
consideration.
Truly
intelligent people, I've found, are quiet and thoughtful--thinking
first before they speak and weighing their words with proper caution
so as not to be misunderstood or offensive to others.
Intelligent
people in other words, are a lot like me.
My
intelligent advice to stupid men is, "Don't open your mouth as
much. Listen for once to what women have to say. You might learn
something."
