Tools

So recently I got angry at the male sex.  The reason being I felt used physically by a non-christian bar hoping male (who is probably not a very gentlemanly person even if he has a country accent) and less than 1 week later I felt used emotionally by a supposed christian male.  It pissed me off and made me believe the lie that men use you; non-Christians physically and Christians emotionally.  In both these tool-shed-esk males defense, I knew better than how I acted and let them treat me poorly, however I didn't ask for it, just allowed it when it began to occur.

The truth of the matter is those two "gentleman" didn't act the way they should have.  They treated me poorly, and hurt me, but they are individually 1 person in a very large population.  It would be irresponsible to hypothesize about a whole group of people based on 1 or 2 tools bad behavior.  It has taken me a couple days to come to grips with that (a couple days longer than it should have) and made me realize those 2 individuals have issues, and I have some issues to allow their issues to hurt me.

That being said women should know that there are good men out there, I am related to some of the best.  I think in hurt and pain 1 or 2 individuals can ruin the good name of others and we should not allow that to happen even when it hurts and even when the thought of letting someone else physically or emotionally close to you again might result in the same pain.  What it can teach us is to be smart ladies!!  Because we are smart, and we fool ourselves into thinking this tool in front of us will not do exactly what you know he is about to do, because you would rather not deal with the ramifications at that moment but they will come later and they will come worse.

That being said, men please don't be tools; don't tell us you will take us to a Laker game when we know you are not going too.  Don't invite us to an intimate dinner for two or a cuddle fest or wrestle match just to get our advice on some other girl and to treat us like an emotional girlfriend.  And again ladies don't let men do this too you!!!

That is all.... :)
