What The Bleep?

Latest twist, in the Dalhousie Dental School scandal.

Why do

Some men feel

This need

To act

So misogynistic.

Thinking

They wouldn't be

Dealt any penalty

For their degrading

Facebook page.

When faced

With the reality

Of a successful woman?

Are they

So insecure

About their manhood

To do this?

Empowering themselves

By degrading women

As nothing more

Than throwaway sexual objects

To relieve themselves

Of their daily frustrations.

Any wonder

Why people dread

An appointment

With their dentist.

Where violence is

Their sole response

To any problem

That vexes them.

Therisa, you poem asks some very good questions which unfortunately I have no answers for. I always believe that all women should be treated with courtesy. That they are for the most part divine creatures and not to mention they are human beings and deserve to be treated nice as do most people. But.................that is me, there are many who do not see things the way I do and degrading women, actually degrading all people truly is a tool used to make them feel better about themselves. Don't ask me why...I don't know. It's so easy to be nice...but I guess to some it is easier to be mean.

Neither do I, Will. Having experienced, first hand violence, from a dentist, who took his anger out on me, for refusing him, access to inject me, with a needle, while working on my teeth, when I was 7. Never told anyone about it, until last year, when I shared this, with my current dentist.

Think some people, get a power rush, from being cruel to other people. And yet, they are held up, as role models, to follow.

Boy, you can say that again. there's no way I could have said it any better than that. And it is sad...it seems the mean ones get all the breaks.

Their day will come, Will.
