why
are wymmyn 'sappy'
iz whut i wanna know
not that it's a character 'fault'
hah!
not that i'm implyin myn 'should' be sappy too
hah!
we wymmyn
spill and share and babble
wallowin in feelins and emotions
analyzin and figurin and turnin things every whichaway
cuz our ance-sisters were gatherers and young'un carers
lookin all around for nutz 'n' berries?
in other wurds
shoppin and nurturin
and developin langwidge?
while our ance-brothers were huntin
focused on one thang and one thang only
competin with the wild life and each other for survival?
in other words
cain't do but wun thing at a time
ain't no need to tawlk about irrelevant stuff
didja know
that wymmyn (in n.a. anywhay)
speak an average of seven thousand words every day
and myn only two thousand?
cuz wymmyn been borned and bred to communicate
and myn been borned and bred to hunt
(eggceptin leagel beagels whose bin borned and bred arguyin)
viz the tv clicker phenomenon
he's a'huntin fer a channel
and by gum kill it daid
jes as soon as
he finds it
nawh,
why do wymmyn seem ta think
that myn 'should' be more like wymmyn
and myn think that wymmyn 'should' be more like myn?
and anuther thang,
why do we both seem to think
(as a turrible generalizayshun)
that the 'others' ain't as good as 'us'?
myn puttin wymmyn and wymmynish thangs down as sissified
wymmyn puttin myn and mynish thangs down as luggish?
ono
more brayne-staynin?
more 'my way or the highway'?
i think i needs ta go do sum warshin
of mah brayne er whut's
left uv it
