pretty girl mantra

Women have always been described as the weaker sex and I find that genuinely funny when you actually think about it for more than thirty seconds. Men are governed by a biological drive so consuming and so constant that it has been responsible for the collapse of careers, marriages, governments and dynasties across the entirety of recorded human history. The same men who built systems to control women were simultaneously being controlled by something they could not turn off and could not reason their way out of and could not stop making catastrophic decisions because of. The reason men control women is because women inherently hold more power over them.

Women have hormonal cycles and men like to treat this as evidence of instability while conveniently ignoring their equivalent is permanent and continuous and has no off switch. The male biological imperative just keeps running in the background of every interaction, every decision, every relationship.

The hypocrisy is the part I find the funniest. The same man who will philosophize at length about female emotionality and irrationality will blow up his entire life for something he could not control for thirty minutes. Will say things about women’s behavior that his own behavior contradicts so completely you would laugh if it were not so consistent across so many men across so many centuries that it stopped being surprising sometime around the Renaissance.
