How can men be the cruelest of creatures, yet genteel and the most brilliant two legged product to climb out of nature's bosom of evolution?
Before feminists, christians and the assorted tater-tots of flag wavers and crusaders pick up cudgels questioning my "slant", lets put a few things straight
1. Men are violent - given a chance we'd solve technical discussions at software companies in the mosh pit with our bosses.
2. Men are gawkers - we check out anything in a skirt
3. Men are liars, cheats and snore in bed (and they also steal your covers>
4. They are bad liars, communicators, and anything involving talk, shopping and opera gives us a kidney stone or a brain aneurysm or a McDonald's combo of both!
5. Men are also the most brilliant, and amazing creators of anything and everything from art, science, literature - par excellence is the word I'd use - anyone else is a distant second.
Nature has created men for two things - getting home the proverbial bacon and procreating. Men are absolutely terrible at anything else. Evolution be damned, apart from the gay prissy crowds of fairies and pansies masqerading around with the all-male package and dabble in home decor and fashion, men know how to hunt - There are varied levels of hunting that we've adapted to over the centuries, but the intent and procedure is the same. Which is why men drive and strive to be awesome at work, because for them their work defines their success as a man. Ask any self-respecting man, anyone who is not satisfied with their work would have terrible emo problems, and its only natural for the bacon bringer to feel so, since his work defines him.
Men have been thrown into a complex mix of sensitivity and legal and moral baggage that is at odds with the testosterone laden cocktail that is the masculine brain. While I am apologetic of the majority of gawking eve-teasing cheap talking folks of my sex, we in India have adopted a double-speak policy on sexual liberation and traditionalism. We've progressed on neither, and what these sick eve-teasers are left with is images of skimpily clad bollywood imports, and shy prudes around them. Women obviously deserve more than these sorry excuses or sperm carriers.
Men have suppressed generations of emotionally coming out for fears of being seen as less masculine, not just by women, but by their peers. While women may see this as cleansing and making them feel lighter, men absolutely hate lowering their guard and being seen as weak or too weepy. Men do not have too many options and outlets for emotional outbursts, and since it is in the nature of women to be good talkers and listeners, they should let men come out without being judgemental. I think that helps in building healthy emotional relationships.
