Proof that women are crazy

So I heard on the radio this morning, from one Gordon Keith, a story about that van der Sloot guy getting letters from women from all over the world. He proceeded to enter this as evidence that "all women are crazy." Look Gordo, I love you, but you have to stop this. Stop perpetuating this disrespectful slur against all women. I know guys are going to say it's "just a joke." Well it may be to you, but it's not a joke to a lot of men. And the more you "joke" about it, the more validated they feel that all women are crazy.

First of all, just because you do not understand someone, that does not make them "crazy." I know sometimes people do things you do not understand. This is not a gender issue. It seems to me that a lot of people are just not making much of an effort in the understanding department & as soon as a woman does something they don't understand, they slap the "Bitches be crazy!" label on it instead of giving just a smidgen of effort in trying to figure it out. This is not even relegated to men. I hear women do it all the time in seemingly some sort of need to look cooler than other women. Sort of an "I understand you, Jimbob! Even if she doesn't!" sort of thing. But the truth is, men do mind-boggling things all the time too. And when they do, men say, "That guy is crazy" instead of "Man, all men are just crazy! That guy's proof!"

Second of all, if all women are crazy, then that is normal. "Crazy" indicates an abnormality of some sort. So if we're all the same (just like all men are assholes, right?), then there is nothing abnormal about it. Either you shut up and deal with it or you can go yell at the sky for being blue.

Third, it seems to me that the guys who perpetuate this stereotype the most are the bitterest. It's those rotten bitches that made you this way, right? It's the divorced guy. Or the guy who's stuck in a miserable marriage. Or the guy who can't seem to get a date with a good woman (I'm sure it's the women's fault for not being good enough). Look, I know it makes you sound like a "pussy" to admit that your wife is a good person or that she does nice things for you or god forbid, that you actually love the woman. But when single guys only hear you bitching and whining, they think that marriage is the deciding factor on whether a woman can be a good partner or not. I hate that stereotype. There are millions of really great relationships going on. If yours sucks, then get out and stop being such a big fucking baby.

I know some of you may be tempted to point to this and say, "This is proof you are crazy." I think it's crazy that out of this whole story, the women who wrote the letters are being painted as crazy and not the guy who goes around MURDERING PEOPLE. There are lots of broken & desperate people in this world. They don't deal with reality very well & they act in ways that you and I may not understand & that condition is not gender specific. All I ask is that we all stop it with this stereotype. Women are not catty bitches & they're not insane. Women can be and SO CAN MEN! We can all be better than this and we can still make jokes without painting half the population with the same gigantic brush. Work with me here, people.
