Fairer, Indeed
WOMEN ...
Truly amaze me ... they possess the super-human
strength to birth a child - one of the most painful
and demanding physical and emotional feats of end-
urance known to our species - yet they have the
self-confidence to be meek and tender, with the
gentle and sweet fortitude needed for motherhood ...
They have the extraordinary insight to look into your
eyes and know what you're feeling ... they can be
completely confident in who they are, and yet totally
vulnerable in who they want to be ... they can have
the strength of ten men in bearing young, and the
sexuality to bring a hundred men to their knees ...
They are at one moment the most simple creatures
in their need for love and attention, and at the next
so complicated that they are unfathomable ... they
can be the most loving and accepting people you've
ever known, or the most frighteningly fierce and fiery
and formidable foes that is humanly imaginable ...
They can lay bare their soul before you and give it
up with passion, or build walls so strong that nothing
but time can bring them down ... they can let you
believe, in their confidence, that you are the strong-
est being alive, in their adoration, or remind you that
the very fires of Hell are at their beck-and-call ...
They are EACH and ALL an amazing creation of utter
imperfect perfection and grace, and like brittle snow-
flakes, uniquely wondrous and different in every way,
at one moment a mystery beyond comprehension,
and at the next, the most delightfully familiar soul
you've ever encountered, in dream or lucid waking ...
Their tears flow as freely as their laughter, and they
are as spiritual as they are sensible ... they measure
their own elegance by how they feel INSIDE, about
themselves. They are all at once outspoken and yet
demure ... they may need to be held and told that
everything will be alright in the world's good time ...
They may need to take the lead and be honored ...
they may want to hear about your wildest dreams,
or need you to really LISTEN to how they feel ...
they may want YOU to take control and show them
your deepest desires, or they may need to have
their every wish fulfilled, from their perspective ...
They may want you to be endlessly mysterious, then
lay bare your broken spirit on the altar of their passion.
A woman may want to look perfect, with every hair
and detail in place, or she may run wild through the
rain ... she may share the fires of her deepest lust
and desires, or make you feel the cold of her wrath ...
She may want you to be firm and forward, and then
desire only tenderness and care ... she may cry at your
funniest joke, or laugh at your saddest story, and ex-
pect you to understand. She may howl at the moon in
madness, yet require you to keep her sane. She may
endear you with ferocity, or scare you with kindness.
She may love you more in her anger than she ever
could in her joy, or adore you for your carelessness,
yet despise you for your attention. A woman is the
perfect vessel and the ultimate contradiction, on the
pedestal one moment, and at your feet the next ...
their bodies are warm and cold, yet salty and sweet ...
Rough and smooth, with hidden wonders and re-
sponses all their own, first trembling at your lightest
touch, then needing the firm press of flesh, every
soft inch a sublime adventure, every subtle curve
a joy ... but their minds are as keen as any sword,
and as honed and sharp-dged as any razor ...
They can cut you with their words and their stare and
leave you bleeding ... they are elation and anger, vigor
and vulnerability, coyness and carnality ... in a moment
they can drag you through hell, or carry you sublimely
to heaven ... they can be an angel or demon, mother
or daughter, maiden or mistress, temptress or torturer ...
They can make you the king of their heart, or remind
you of your absolute insignificance ... they are told
from birth that they are inferior to men - weaker and
softer, more fragile - yet despite that they are more
determined, more durable, more wise, more diligent,
more deft, more caring and tenacious, more intuitive ...
They are hard-working, they are as insightful and as
sensible as most three men put together ... they can
be great moms or be great boxers ... they can be
successful professionals or stay-at-home wives, they
can do most jobs as well as any man, and do a hundred
other things that many men are never even taught ...
They can teach, fight, love, paint, play drums, be
weightlifters, ballerinas, truck drivers, nurses, army
sergeants, cooks, seamstresses, basketball players or
coaches, florists or pharmacists, doctors or lawyers ...
women can wear dresses or work pants, they can wear
toe shoes or hockey skates, ponytails or hard hats ...
They can wear steel-toed boots or stilettos, they can
wear overalls or miniskirts, (and make them ALL look
better than a man EVER did) ...
I personally believe that one of the primary reasons
that they have been marginalized for so many centuries,
is that men knew that if women ever DID start doing
the things that men have always done, everyone would
find out that women are BETTER at 99% of those things,
and would start demanding equal pay and equal rights!
That exact thing is starting to come to pass, and I think
it scares many men ... women are told their whole lives
what they CAN'T do, yet they spend their whole lives
doing things that many men are incapable of, things that
most men don't care or want or have to do ... men are
into making a living, yet women are what we live FOR ...
Women have forever lived in the shadow of men, but
men would HAVE no shadow without the sunlight that
women shine on our lives ... if Woman really WAS made
after man, (as some religions teach), it's because the
Creator didn't get human beings right the first time,
and perfected the species with the female version ...
And most of all, no matter how much you learn about
them, or how much you may know of all these things
I've touched on here, or how much you listen and absorb
what they tell you about themselves, you'll never, ever,
EVER, understand them ... yet there is absolutely NO-
THING in Heaven or on earth, that is as wonderful ...
Nothing as sexy and sublime, as entertaining or enticing,
as intently intense, or as imperfectly perfect, as ...
WOMEN.
