I was having a conversation with a couple of unlikely gentlemen this morning… a bearded, Guy-Fawkes-mask-carrying member of “anonymous” who bore a striking resemblance to the dude from the movie 300 and a grizzled Native American with feet so beat and blackened that he needed offer no further credentials to have his point of view taken seriously.
The three of us watched in silence as a beautiful, porcelain skinned redhead who was clearly tripping b~~~~ on shrooms repeatedly rejected the offers of a “love bombing” young woman of African descent to drive the redhead’s car home for her so that she could get home safely. They did eventually leave together, accompanied by a second car of the black girl’s friends but with the tripping girl behind the wheel and the other girl hanging on nervously in the passenger seat.
We all looked at each other, all thinking the same thing,.. and Mr. Anonymous finally articulated it: “Why do women make such stupid decisions over and over again like that?” We tossed the idea around a bit and I presented this insight which I felt I would like to share with you,
Females witness men making decisions and taking action every day but what they do not see is the thought, preparation, planning, training and anticipation of possible failures and fallbacks that we put in before taking action because, traditionally, we do not do these things in their presence. So when they attempt to model masculine behaviors, as they are more and more prone to do these days, they make their decisions and take their actions but in the absence of said preparation. Instead, they do so on the basis of their feelings, desires and opportunities of the moment,.. which they must, perforce, believe that *we do as well*. And then they find themselves f~~~ed… a day late, a dollar short, out of time, out of gas and with nothing to fall back on except for US.
And so we step in, as we always have, and draw on our experience and skills honed over long years of having to exercise authority and take responsibility, in order to save their asses from whatever disasters they have created for themselves.
I’ve found myself in just such a situation with the last four females I have encountered. One who did drugs she could not handle while boating and could have drowned or been left behind, another who got blackout drunk and put herself in a position where she could have been raped, a third who wandered off into the desert to be alone, leaving behind her children and less capable friends for others to take responsibility for and this one I speak of now who spent her entire evening chasing feels with no consideration of who she was with, what she was doing or how she was going to make it out the other end.
At some point, females must begin to realize that we do not simply choose and act based on whim, but that there is an entire process behind our choices and actions that drive them and give them a chance for success. They can either learn by watching us, or by failing on their own the way we did, I think you can guess which path I believe this process will take,.. only I doubt that most females are truly resilient enough to stand and fall and stand again on their own feet without the safety net that we provide to them invisibly, unrecognized and for free,
Brothers, it is time for us to stop doing that. If females are ever to be afforded the rights, privileges and responsibilities of adults, we have to stop treating them like helpless children.
