Maybe I Sound Angry

You do sound angry, Virginia, but rightly so.  You can do without the macho crap very easily.  You're too high powered for that.  I'm not sure about the morality.  I'd be more concerned with the arrogance, the insufferable certainty that the little woman needs assistance.  Your sense of humor saves you (and him) from pure rage.  You ridicule the bastard over the breakfast table, pointing out those cartoons on the cereal boxes while he munches away.  And then he puts on the Superman threads, not noticing the kryptonite clutched in your fist.  I would never even consider trying to iron out those edges.  They give you character.

Love your anger ...

a definite maybe, perhaps. Those are some venomous words. The ending is a real kicker. Ouch! You know how to a pack a punch, Petals.

You have a right to be angry. Nobody should be treated like they need anybody else. You are very capable to conquer whatever you encounter. Much love, sweet Virginia.

love can be tough business

I agree!!!

brilliant - a real kick in the balls kinda poem and they deserve it :-)

I thank god I am not as other men :-P

Love this Brutal Truth Girl



XOXO

So true that some men think they're being a gentlemen not realizing their ego is fed...i guess this is where the woman chooses to allow it to happen. Cool write!

Maybe?
I am going to go burn my superman costume now.
and put on my meek mike outfit...good stuff!

won't you tell us how you really feel? ;) well done. very well done.

Strong women don't need saving ^^

Love your strength :-)

every man's a hero in his own mind, hard to convince the ladies of that; maybe we long for a 'perils of Pauline' world.
 
it is our great tragedy that we are only men...

Totally feelin' this! I too am not a fan of being saved and protected. There's a difference between someone who wants to fight battles for you and someone who will fight them with you. It's a really nice feeling when someone knows you have the strength to take the world on and supports you while you do it. To be deemed incapable and looked at as a fragile piece of glass is more insulting than not.

I don't think this sounds angry, I think it sounds like the voice of a strong woman speaking some hard hitting truth. This is an excellent piece, delivered with just the right amount of fire.

Mmmmm .... dipped in awesome sauce this was.
