Letter to Woman

May 11, 2005

Dear Woman,

I must take argument with your assumption that you girls mature faster than boys. Such an assumption can only be made within certain confines. Yes, this world we live in now is perhaps one of those confines. (But please, entertain me with a bit of theory – for posterity’s sake.) Or do you mean something else and maybe you should write it in German? If I have understood you correctly then, and as usual, this issue and our disagreement is eminent.

I’m sure you were a very mature woman at 17. There is no way you could be what you have become today if you were not mature at that age. Does this have anything to do with growing up in Europe? The greatest thing about landing in Europe so many years ago were the women. Oh, how they smelled – so much different than American women. But that’s another issue hopefully we’ll get to later.

Buried within, I’m guessing, are remnants of a kind of feminine war and/or a push against convention. It doesn’t matter where or who the first woman feminist was. What matters is what has happened to the original idea in the Now. And so our fight is one of sex – and it should’t be. (I so look forward to expanding it!) I therefore stand by my statement that perhaps you were/are somewhat, but only somewhat, naive sexually. How many men have you had? My count is no more than six. You are almost forty. I, on the other hand, have had thirty (plus) woman and I’m now forty-five. The reason I have slept with more than one woman is for the simple fact that I learned very early on that I had to get to know you – fucking one would never be enough. Anyway, I must stand by my statement that has so angered you: that sexual naivete means more than just what’s in the bed.

What I have learned about girls and women is that they treat sex as a subject when it should be an object. Subjectivity is simply less important. The reasons should be obvious. Beelzebub thought the same way which was his/her shortcoming with Lucifer. Again, that’s another story. The thing you possess is quite profound and its exact opposite (anti) is what drives not propagation but stupidity. Woman has put herself on a different path these days – the deed deserving of praise – whereas a mans path has yet to even be questioned. Although I appreciate the achievements of women in the previous century, I’m not sure if most men are. (Stop laughing.) There is simply too much room for confusion here.

Pride is something so profoundly natural and at the same time contrary to the ways of nature (because mankind does not live naturally), that once it starts, like a snowball, there is no stopping it. There is a reason why the seven deadly sins begin with Pride. It is because from pride all the others sins derive. Put this atop/over the desire to love and propagate and you have a cornucopia of emotional turmoil. Mix all that with the simple fact that women’s efforts to emancipate over the last hundred years has pushed them faster forward then even they realize, well then, wow, it’s a wonder anything works at all.

So do you want to know what I love about you? It’s a question that should never be answered. It is the subject always fighting the subject. Maybe the two should be turned around. Who knows?

Keep up the good work and may male and female “careers” abound.
