FOR THE LAST few weeks men dominated this column with their sad stories. I’m really sorry that they were treated so badly, but the truth is that for every one of them who complained, I am sure ten women got hurt by “wuffless” men.
Although there are a few good men out there trying to be decent husbands and boyfriends, the vast majority of men are wicked. All they’re interested in is getting as many women as possible. For them it’s all about sex and more sex – nothing else. They’re not interested in building a relationship or being true companions or even fathers.
That is why when some women meet a man they can twist around their finger, they do that. They do it as payback for all the pain they went through with the men in their lives before. They do it, too, because it makes them feel in control of the relationship and are not just victims, waiting hand and foot on a man to decide the course of their lives. It is about taking control of your destiny to ensure that no man ever treats you unfairly again.
What my daughter is going through right now is precisely what I am talking about.
She had a couple of men before who treated her badly. One of them horned her going and coming. So she got annoyed and decided the next man she settled on was going to jump to her beat. She was friendly with a few fellows before she settled on the one she has now, and that girl squeezes that man for everything he’s worth.
What I mean is this: she makes sure that every week he provides money for her – otherwise she does not sleep with him. He has to come straight home from work and help out around the house.
And she monitors his cellphone and telephone calls to make sure there is no one else.
I have heard her tell him that if he doesn’t like her rules he should forget her.
I think she has gone overboard, and I told her this. But the truth is, I understand why she is so fed up with men. She gave each father of her two children all the love a woman could give a man, but both of them turned out to be no use.
The first one took advantage of her youthfulness and after three years went back to the woman he used to live with before. And from the time she became pregnant the second one began cheating on her and never stopped. She was forced to quit that relationship after they were together for nearly five years.
Because my daughter has never had any luck with men, she is determined that she will have a man only on her terms.
That is why all the sob stories in this column for the last few weeks don’t mean anything. Women have been hurt for years by selfish men, and as far as I am concerned it is good that a few women are getting their own back.
