Women Lie in Whine Line

D

ear Editor, Women lie. No, that’s not right. Women lie a lot. I’m referring to the flood of whines from women who claim to be seeking Mr. Right. From first-hand experience and observation, I can state categorically they will leave spike-heel-shaped divots in the skull of the kind of man they claim to want while clambering over him to reach the worst rat bastard in the room. That’s the man women get, because that’s the man they really want. Unlike what most men believe, the man women desire doesn’t have to be good looking, wealthy, employed, or even particularly hygenic. If he is, that’s great, if not, that’s great too - just as long as he’s drenched in the scent of L’essence de Loser, a pheromone women find irresistible. They want a guy who’ll romance them, mattress dance ‘em and dump ‘em. I can hear the howls of outrage and high-pitched voices calling for my bobbitization with a dull pair of rusty nail clippers, but it’s true. Women deliberately date losers. What is the payoff for women who date these dirtbags? Everything a woman wants in life. First, they get romance; all women want romance, and these guys provide it - at least until their attention is attracted elsewhere. Secondly, they get drama. Women love drama, and there’s always lots in these relationships, particularly when the jerk, having the fidelity span of a fruit

fly, attracts another woman like the one he’s with and the first woman finds out about it. And, last, but probably most important, she gets the real jewel in the crown: victimhood. Because of the men she picks, it will always be his fault the relationship fails. Strange statistic: One in six men is unfaithful and one in seven women. All we hear about are the cheating men why? After all, men don’t come home pregnant with another woman’s baby. It’s because a man whose wife is cheating doesn’t talk about it. If it’s discovered, he’s presumed a sexually inadequate joke. A husband becomes a cuckold; there is no corresponding term of disparagement for the wife. Both the woman whose boyfriend is a louse and the wife whose husband is unfaithful are rewarded for telling; she becomes a martyr. By telling, she receives sympathy, support and confirmation she’s a good person. He, of course, is pond scum. No one ever thinks to question why they choose a string of seemingly identical replacement losers; instead women commiserate how they keep attracting these losers. No matter what the Whine Line says, women don’t want a decent man simply because there’s not the same payoff in a real relationship as long as they’re serially rewarded for choosing “bad boys.” — Dave Stewart

Calls Young a Race-Baiting Obstructionist

D

ear Editor, I am offended by Bob Young’s recent campaign literature which was just brought to the public eye. This is just one more instance where Mr. Young starts babbling about his many attempts to be a good, productive mayor but just can’t because somebody else got in his way. I disagree with his excuses, and my own opinion is he can’t get anything done because he is ineffective in his own right. His literature also implies that he’s done the very best job possible and if anyone else were elected mayor, they couldn’t do any better. The arrogance of his rantings is

overwhelming. I will admit that I’ve never agreed with much of what commissioner Marion Williams has had to say, but he hit the nail on the head when he stated Mr. Young had not done anything in this city. I am a white voter, and it is crystal clear that Mr. Young is the one who is a “race-baiting obstructionist.” As much as I am offended by Mr. Young’s letter and continued “Don’t blame me” attitude, I imagine there are a lot of black voters who are just as fed up with his name-calling and weak excuses. — Bertha Johnson
