| women are actually freaks of galactic nature

i like women. my first best friend was named beth. she lived next door and was a tom-boy who could draw a lion that would get up and walk off the page. i don't think i ever realized she was a girl until my dad suggested i date her when we got older. puh-leez. like i am gonna date someone my DAD likes ... next in line was susie. she died from diabetes when we were just out of high school. in grade school, we went to each other's houses for lunch and stuff. i was still very vague on the differences between guys and gals. i do remember susie as being the sweetest person i had met. now that title would go to several folks in a tie: my daughter, susie, tammy williams and mary berry. after a huge life of incredible diversity, mary slipped into Heaven, too. i miss her horribly.
i understand the frustration it must be for women to share the planet with men. women are in touch with their worlds through every sense they own. for home projects, i am kinda like, "wanna watch TV and draw?" women will bring out scraps of cloth, leather, breakfast foods and a glue gun. then they will say, "let's build a car today." what the heck IS that? there is a commercial on TV recently where because she feels good, a woman brings her kitchen containers and has the kids in her class do "music" by filling stuff with water and blowing on it and pounding it and ... there just seems to be a special gene that they have to enables them to see past the natural world and into the potential of things.
having been alone for most of my adult life now, i have to admit that i have a special gene for blinking when i don't feel like noticing that the cats have dumped a potted plant into my clean laundry. at that point i think, "i have some clean clothes and this is NOT an emergency. therefore i shall wait til the clothes i am wearing are as dirty as the ones the cats just destroyed and then do a super load ... " i can forget about that load of laundry until the exact moment it needs to be washed to make it to church on time. i have been told that not hanging my clothes on color matched hangers is why i am not married. if a woman married me because my pants and hanger were the same color, though, she might as well marry me because i have a fly on my nose. i will not always have a fly, nor shall i always have the pants on the correct hanger. my pants are used to the freedom of having the entire floor as a playground, and i will not cage them in a closet!
women have the secret power of the socks, though. i don't lose one sock. i lose both. i swear, when i was married, i had a sock DRAWER! now i have a pair i know i can find and that's the only guarantee. that pair is over the towel rack in my bathroom which is the only reason i know where it is. it was very expensive for my insurance company to buy me. several years ago i lost a shirt the day i bought it and never found it again. i opened it in my living room. i think i live in a clothing vortex, although nobody pretty has just had their clothes disappear off their body. THAT i would notice and savor.
i certainly enjoy women's minds more than men's. they have synapses where men have rock. one of my wives had a friend named gail. gail told me she would not get married because he would divorce her and she would have no furniture. she wasn't dating anyone. but in her mind, the guy she was going to meet was going to ultimately steal her furniture. i have another friend who has photographic memory for sales. we haven't talked in a couple years, but you could call her and say, "who has weed whackers on sale?" and she would know. if i filled my head with that crap i would forget my way to the bathroom. there are only so many things someone can hold in their head, no? i long ago dispensed with remembering names. all that memory can be used to store bigfoot facts or lenny bruce quotes. but my ex-wife could tell you the day of her first dental appointment. that ain't right, somehow.
i think that life on earth was much more fun when women enjoyed being feminine. they ran the world while allowing men to think they had input. now women are just men in nicer packages. i was absolutely behind the quest for better wages that matched men's, better opportunities that matched men's, equal respect for equal accomplishment. but women took the worst parts of men on as their own: competitiveness, vulgarity, stepping on each other to achieve. ::sigh:: i guess i got born two generations late. see ya around campus.

I'm all for women's rights too, obviously because I'm a woman, but you bring up some very good points...and the hanger thing...I have way too many colors in my closet to possibly be able to keep them on matching hangers :)
