**Dragging the old feminist soap box from the back of the closet and blowing off the layers of dust**
Ok, ladies, I was driving home from work last night listening to one of my favorite country singers, Conway Twitty. **waits for the snickers to die down** And I started listening to the words of one of his songs that I hadn't really paid attention to before and it just struck me that this truly is a representation of what most men think love is. And if you tell them differently you get that ubiquitous, blank, non-sequitur look we all find so endearing. I submit the lyrics for your perusal and consideration. Let your significant male other read it and see if he can figure out what is wrong with this picture...
Touch The Hand Conway Twitty
Today I heard my woman say something I never heard her say before.
She just told me she was gonna leave me and that she didn't love me anymore.
But I know that the lovin' kindness and the understandin'
that she had when I first met her is still there somewhere
So I'm gonna get down on my knees and I'm gonna say to my baby...
(chorus)
Touch the hand of the man
That made you a woman
And then tell me
you don't love me anymore
I was the first man to ever
Hold you in a special kind of way
And those unfamiliar feelings
That caused you to tremble
I know you remember today
Before you decide you're gonna leave me
And do things you've never done before
(Chorus)
The two lips that once held sweet surprises
Surprised me and said goodbye today
And the two lovin' arms that used to reach for me
Just reached out and pushed me away
I know you believe you don't love me
But before you walk out that door
(chorus)
How sad is that? Now I'm not usually riled up by this sort of thing but the other song that really got my hackles up was that pop song a few years ago "More that Words". If these men think that sex is the key component to the relationship then they should not be shocked when the woman packs up their sh** and kicks them to the curb!!!!! Quite frankly most of the women I know like sex, some of them really love sex, but there are MUCH more critical aspects of an actual relationship. If all we wanted was sex, then we would keep Adrian Paul clones in a closet somewhere and let him out when needed then put him back and call the real man to have the relationship with. I just really wish that there was some kind of radiation therapy that would allow these confused men to comprehend this concept.
**Steps down, puts the feminist soap box back in the back of the closet.**
