Hmmm... I really do not understand the context of this message. Are there girls who would blame a guy for taking away their shoes while they were puking? a majority of women who prefer assholes over 'nice guys'? Just because many people consider "I'm sorry
that I open your car door, and pull out your chair like I was raised" to be a nice gesture doesn't make it so - it comes out of the notion that women are weak and need men to open their doors for them. I really don't understand what this message is supposed to convey, other than sexist notions and blaming women for not appreciating supposedly nice men... Rather, it clearly conveys sexist essentialist generalizations. So "I'm sorry that I don't repost sexist generalizations and perpetuate male vs. female stereotypes... oh wait, no, I'm not. OK then, I'm sorry for reposting the below message even in the context of ripping it to shreads."
This is to all of the girls in the world who can't accept the nice guys for who they are:
I'm sorry
That I was raised with respect;
not to sleep with you when you were drunk
I'm sorry
That my body's not ripped enough
to "satisfy" your wants
I'm sorry
that I open your car door,
and pull out your chair like I was raised
I'm sorry
That I'm not cute enough
to be "your guy"
I'm sorry
That I am actually nice;
not an asshole
I'm sorry
I don't have a huge bank account
to buy you expensive things
I'm sorry
I like to spend quality nights at home
cuddling with you, instead of at a club
I'm sorry
That I am always the one you need to talk to,
but never good enough to date
I'm sorry
That I always held your hair back when you threw up,and didn't get mad at you for puking in my car,
but when we went out you went home with another guy
I'm sorry
That I am there to pick you up at 4am when your new man hit you and dropped you off in the middle of nowhere,
but not good enough to listen to me when I need a friend
I'm sorry
That I don't understand that he cheats on you but you take him back;
but I'm not good enough to understand that he loves you
I'm sorry
If I start not being there, and being used as a door mat, only to be thrown to the side when the new asshole comes around
I'm sorry
If I don't answer my phone when you call, to listen to you cry for hours, instead of getting a couple hours of sleep before work
I'm sorry that you can't realize.. I've been the one all along.
But hey....now You're sorry
I'm sorry
If you read this and know somebody like this
but don't care
But most of all
I'm sorry
For not being sorry anymore
I'm sorry
That you can't accept me
for who I am
I'm sorry
That you tell me how much better I am
Yet I am not good enough for you
I'm sorry
that im attracted to your personality
instead of your body
Im sorry for taking your
drink away when you were puking on my shoes
and didnt get mad at you
Im sorry
for being there when you wanted to bitch like
hell.
I'm sorry
for allways trying so hard but never knowing what to say.
I'm sorry
your not attracted to me because im not a ass and more concerned about not hurting you than getting in your pants.
Ladies always bitch and bitch to their friends that there is never any good guys out there anymore, and they always end up with assholes who treat them bad. Well ladies next time your bitching, maybe look up to see who your bitching too, maybe that special someone is right there hanging on your every word like usual, screaming in his head "why don't you give me a try?"
Because the person you are usually searching for is right by you.
If you're a guy and you agree with this letter, repost as "I'm sorry" and add a little if I forgot something
If You're one of the few girls with enough balls to repost, and you would never make your guy feel this way, repost as "I appreciate you" |

I wish FMLA or Tri Iota had more theory, and more connection of the content to reality. I wish it had more discussion. I wish instead of talking about news articles we talked about what in the hell they mean, what it means that armed men are taking girls hostages in schools and sexually abusing them. What does that say about society? Why is this happening? What does this symbolize in society? About women? About gender relations? About power? What does this tell girls, young and not so young, about our perceived vulnerability? I wish we talked about female role models, and females in Hollywood. When all I can see is the pussycat dolls showing of their dance/sex moves, beyonce showing off her body in slutty dresses her mom picked out for her, Britney romping around ON HER BED as if we had a camera in her bedroom, as if she were pulling a Paris Hilton... it sure makes it difficult to watch Pink's video Stupid Girls and remember that THIS is actually what we should be striving for. "What happened to dreams of a girl president? she's dancing in a video next to 50cent." Why aren't we examining the difference between sexy and slutty? Slutty and sexy are not mutally exclusive, yet commodification of females makes any expression of female beauty into something for the sole purpose of male enjoyment. It's not that you can't be sexy and revealing and slutty and skanky, but the way it is perceived, and in turn the way women cater to this continual male fantasy... it makes it impossible for an equal power relationship between men and women, even when one has the potential to exist...
Name me a public female role model who has some substance, who does not sell herself solely on sex. Name someone who you wouldn't mind your little sister imitation. There are a handful, yet for each one there are a dozen who prove the opposite. Even for those women who supposedly penetrate through the obstacles and get that high powered job or are successful without being a sex object, they are still looked at in terms of which no man will ever be scrutinized. Condeleeza Rice: exclusive look at her exercise routine and how she keeps fit. IS THIS AN IMPORTANT POLITICAL CHARACTERISTIC or was I not paying attention? Have you ever seen something like that for a man? She's not married so they have to show an alternate substance in her life in place of the man that is her natural destiny... Forget that unmarried men in politics are completely fine, the family life of most politicians are unimportant yet somehow we need to hear the details of Rice's work-out routine.. |

I think I am much better suited to be a 'b' student. |

Can someone remind me why I went to this school in the first place? |
