I have often heard men referred to as “dogs!”
We all know what kind of canine women have been called – more on that in Part 2. Getting back to my point, dogs need to be trained to sit, stay and roll over. They were not born with those talents. I like to think that men had to be trained in the intricacies of sexual harassment. It is NOT man’s inborn instinct to demean and degrade women. It is more of an acquired skill handed down from the generations of men that have come before… and have had great success with it. Sadly, women have come to expect it.
Men were handed down these sexual harassment techniques, the vulgar vocabulary, and the “moves” by their predecessors. Much like a dog gets a treat when he learns to pee and poop outside, these guys were also rewarded with a treat for their behavior. “Good one Buster, have a beer on me!” And they all laugh!
For change to happen, men need to be inconvenienced. Take for example “Mister Bigshot Man.” One day while walking down the street, he stepped in dog poop wearing his Christian Louboutin balmorals and then declared…”Hear ye, hear he! From now on, all dog poop shall be picked up in little plastic bags or ye shall be fined! This poop will be carried around until it can be properly discarded.”
Because of this mishap, it has become law in some areas, that you must pick up your dog’s poop! If I may inject my own observation here, next time you see a couple walking their dog, you may notice (9 times out of 10) that the woman is carrying the fully loaded poop bag …just sayin’.
So now, nearing the end of 2017, powerful women in their Monolo Blahniks’ are standing up and declaring that men claim their own “sexual harassment poop,” wrap it up and own it. I admire these women for standing up and saying…”Wait, wait, wait… I have kept my mouth shut long enough. This is NOT right. We should not have to put up with this ‘POOP.’ Just stop it!” These women are speaking out for all of us that have endured the humiliation of this harassment. They are women in high positions and some have the threat of losing their jobs. (Isn’t that pathetic? The men aren’t losing their jobs. Don’t get me started!!) The point is that they ARE speaking up and naming names. I have come to realize that no woman was immune to this abuse of power.
The sad part is, that some of the men did not even realize they did anything wrong. “But, but, but… I pooped outside like I was supposed to!! Where is my treat?” THERE IS NO TREAT!
Here is the thing; you don’t poop in someone else’s yard!
