A Pair of Diaphanous Tights

What is noteworthy to me is that my affection for my friend Debbie in spin class has me shying away from looking at her posterior which becomes quite visible through the diaphanous material that is her tights.   It makes me realize that I have no lust issue with her and that my admiration is not based on the male animal in me. I do like her, but not in the typical male fashion.  Maybe it is just my age, and marriage notwithstanding, but I am able to discern what might be a great bed partner to a woman whose feelings I have are more sibling like. In other words, I do not lust after her in my mind. It’s amusing because she is a beautiful woman but she does not engage my visceral sexual interest.  I like that a lot.

The Evil Men Do To Themselves

Men answer phones at home, drive, take out the garbage and take the lead in the bedroom.  What do women of today still want men to do?

Let’s take a check on what men still cannot do.  Men can still not exhibit the full range of emotions that women can do and still do.  So men are still restricted to emotional boundaries.  For example men are still not allowed to come apart at the seams when things don’t go right.  Most liberated heterosexual women still want their men to “man up” in situations women do not have to adhere to and can still feign as part of being exclusively female.  

It’s so amazing that we have to give up so much ground socially and economically but we have to hold up the antiquated archetype of masculine strength when women can simply fold their tents and cry.  It’s time for us to take a page out of the female bible of emotional independence.  Women have a virtual free pass on emotional expression.  Men do not and of course that is changing but not fast enough.  The double standard has to end and it has to end now.  The gender gap has narrowed considerably but only when it’s convenient and profitable monetarily and socially by our distaffed counterparts.  

It’s not just about emotion it’s also how we can ditch the competitive mind that we were forced to wear growing up and had drilled into our heads by our well intentioned parents. Competition leads to the dog eat dog world theory that creates the unnecessary stress that winds up killing us prematurely, and our call back to ashes. We have the power to change the competitive mind to the creative mind. It takes the world of scarcity and transforms it to a universe of abundance.  Men can become liberated and still hold doors open for women if they’re so inclined. By the way women still love that
