I believe it is important, especially now, to take a moment to celebrate your gender. You are Men. Regardless of color, creed, or motto, it is you and all men who have shaped this world. Every single thing you see around you is a testament to the practical ingenuity and the logical mind, gifted seemingly only to men. Take a moment to celebrate yourself and appreciate the gifts that your ancestors created.

 

I ask that we have a moment of celebration for our masculinity, as it is sometimes easy to forget that you are being brainwashed right now. As we speak, the TV you have in the back ground is playing another ad for a jewelry commercial. It is showing a man on a bended knee, begging a beautiful woman using a large manufactured stone as a bribe. Or maybe the TV is playing a show. One where the man of the house is an irresponsible, but loveable idiot. He's probably outrageous, impulsive, and usually violent in some way.

 

Or maybe it's that high profile court case. You read about it in the paper, some Ex professional football player passed away and suddenly 4 women step up with claims that they are his illegitimate children. Oh, no. It's just a recap on that couple that went on a killing spree. Looks like the guy got life, but his girlfriend claimed to be coerced and pregnant, looks like she will be getting out in 11 months. But I thought you heard she was filmed stabbing a guy to death? Kind of weird that she'd get so little time if that was true...

 

Damn, the neighbors in the apartment above are at it again. You can hear her screaming at the top of her lungs at least twice a week. This time it's about him coming home late, it's only 7 though, sounds like he was just pulling some overtime. But she's not feeling like he's giving her enough attention, you heard her accuse him of cheating the other day. For such a rough marriage they have a lot of sex though, because you can hear that too. By the sound of it, the guy takes his lunch off to come sleep with his wife several times a week.

 

You decide you don't want to sit through another one of their fights, so you go out to the bar instead. On your walk you stop by the gas station for a pack of smokes. There's that homeless guy, he usually sits at the corner of the gas station begging for change. He's a thin, old looking man and always says he's in need of food, so you tend to give him the coins from your pocket. The guy is always there, even on a cold night like this. You walk in, but there is a woman walking to the door. So you hold it open for her, after all it's the polite thing to do. As you walk to the counter, another woman pushes in line in front of you. She has a kid tugging at her cut off shorts, screaming over a slurpee, and there's another one running through the shop throwing product on the floor. She pays for her drinks and candies with her welfare card, but gives the clerk a hard time for not letting her buy beer with it. It took her 10 minutes to finally stop yelling at him and leave, you heard her telling another customer that they refused to serve her as she was walking out the door.

 

At long last you finally make it to the bar. There's just so much conflict out in the world, it's really bringing you down! You could definitely use a few drinks and relax while watching the ball game. Damn, that's right, it's ladies night. You give the doorman 10 bucks and walk in...
