To Do List: To Crush Men!!!

[reporting from Haiti]

This blog may come up as hypocritical, considering I am a man myself, but one quality that people should be proud of having is to accept their problems, without being arrogant about it. And that is one thing men will never admit. They say usually that it’s something that mostly wives and mothers do, belittling their husbands and their offspring, with the utmost goal of winning the battle or the argument. But men have a series of these problems that are quite similar. Arrogance, pride, immaturity, only to name a few problems that prevent today’s men from ever progressing. I’m not surprised that congress is mostly made of men, considering that pro is the opposite of con. Now, puns aside, it is something that truly annoys me. Hanging out with the guys and listening to the kind of shit that comes out of their mouths, it’s no wonder that women always have the upper hand on us. And it’s not just their fault. Pop culture plays a major part in this degradation. Every Sean Paul video, Daddy Yankee or any reggaeton or hip-hop video portray these over-powering men, maneuvering women barely wearing anything, with just a thong sometimes and having their ways with them, becoming the "playa" of the game. Every time I watched these videos, I always wondered how anyone could possibly stand this crap. But almost all the guys I hang out here with, including my male cousins, all react the same way. They start cheering and whooping and giving each other high fives. It’s all that testosterone (God bless it in the right moment ;-)) that’s going to waste for unnecessary endeavors.
This immaturity carries into the professional world as well, sadly taking a toll sometimes on other people’s lives, weaker than the oppressor. This relates to wars and other international or national conflicts that prevent our society from living a stress-free life. If our leaders were mostly women or gay men for the fact of that matter, I’d sit more easily in a high-rise office toilet, not thinking that it might blow up under my ass any instant. How do we go about changing this? One person asking that question isn’t going to solve anything. I’m just hoping that eventually, men will realize that all that ass-shaking, all those "fly bitches in my crib", all those 20-inch rims and all the other nonsense will get boring, since they haven’t realized it already has. It’s just the same thing over and over again. That is what is known as brainwashing, according to the Oxford dictionary on top of my fridge. All this just pumps up men’s testosterone more and more, thinking of no one else but themselves, degrading women, and constantly looking for power to acquire it by whatever means possible, hurting everything and everyone in their way. There’s only so much we can do but hope for some best in the near future……We’re in 2006…Bush leaves in 2008…that means we still have two more years of this shit…that’s some seriously bad fuck job!!!!
