Women is there a man in your life?

Do not get me wrong I only need some time and nothin more.

Woman, Do you know what your man does everyday? I doubt it. Oh there is all this smart talk about men not listening to their woman. Well I just took a walk and talked to 4 women in my neighborhood. Not one of them knew exactly what their husbands do.

That is a fact. One is some kind of an electrician -- but residential or commercial is unknown. One sells trucks "I think". One is a naval man, but he just goes to work. One is a school teacher but I do not know exactly what subjects right now, it changes.

Women are now so empowered that they do not listen.

I suppose I got nothing important to say. But I thinks I jus will say it anyway.

So for decades, and I do think it was after WWII men just ran the show. Life was hard but materialism had caught hold. Women were really not welcome in the show of going off to work. Very strange after all the great "Rosie the Riveter" stories and the French resistance and all them fine lady folk that saved our bacon during time of great injury to man.

(just an aside. Mary and Martha and Mother Mary and whores and Mother Theresa are my heroes. Cuz they was just as outcast as my sorry good for nothing butt. But they got it done)

My momma was part of this new idea that women could be bad ass mother ------ and run board meetings and take down politicians and create social change. Damn fine for her and all of us that she helped. But she never met and heard a single girlfriend I ever had that was not already a family friend. She "approved of" my wife but she never had time for our chicken eggs or eggplant.

Momma got busy proving herself and winning. There went my mom.

Momma was awesome but not for me. The ball got dropped. (old term from aircraft carriers sending warship jet fighter pilots out to battle) You just cannot let the man go out to war in the world without some kind of mother behind him.

I know I know and I know that is not right. It is weird and my girls will beat me over this. And my wives will crucify me for writing this.

But the point is that somewhere down that road of the 1900's women got brainwashed into thinking they were not women. Do you get my point?

But here is the sad part, many just went ahead and adopted the negative traits of men. That is bad.

There is no reason why the outer shell cannot be stripped away at the doorway to the home. There is no reason why sometimes work comes in second. Nowadays it is perfectly healthy and not considered strange for a man to do what were traditional women jobs in the home. Thank goodness. But I have never met a man that carries that into the workplace. A woman can do the same. They do not have to maintain an aura of competitiveness and machisma at home. And does not make them less of a go getter if they totally embrace their feminine side at home.

Perhaps just perhaps we should give people something that is their domain. And not creep in on it. Show some respect and some boundaries. Pay attention. Anyone nowadays can become anything they want in the USA. I do not feel we need to take what someone else feels is their space and place.

Because when we do that we are leaving something out. And that which is left out is too often the children.
