This is not to betray my gender nor to agree with the radical feminists that all men are chauvinist pigs.
However...!
Look,
fellas, one of us has to admit it publicly. We've screwed up. From the
very first tribal chieftains to jungle shamans to Machiavellian princes
to Hugh Hefner and Dubya Bush strutting their libidos, the male of the
species has been causing more wars, more rape-and-pillaging, and more
smack-in-the-mouth everyday violence than any three Vulcan Planets could
have ever dreamed up.
We've been in charge ever since Adam, and
just look at the bloody history our egotistical, fist-in-the--face
bravado has created. Lately women -- in government, colleges, medical
schools and at the Olympics -- have been inching up and passing us by.
Maybe it's time they did. Maybe the world could benefit from Innate
feminine qualities like caring and compassion. They sure as hell can't
do any worse than we have!
So -- with all due deference to my
college fraternity brothers, my son and grandsons, and even my
no-nonsense brother...let it be said it's time to shelve the the
strutting...butt patting...wife jokes...secret handshakes and decoder
rings. Time to grow up to the fact that just maybe we weren't actually
ordained by God or Nature or even Pope to be "master-of-all-we-survey."
By the way, who ever wrote that line????
