Regarding Attraction and Propulsion, Foxxy writes:

“… No matter how happy attracted or satisfied I am when I need to go I am propelled. Sometimes its like being shot from a cannon.

Bootling in your case Elsa, right? The soldier’s mud hole is great and all, but his acknowledgment of your (drive) need to bootle is one of this things that makes the relationship work . .”

Last night, Vid, the soldier and I were messing around. I took a stand against the soldier and Vid took his side. I looked at him mockingly. “Siding against your old mom now, are you? You’re on his side?”

“Yeah I’m with him,” he said.

“Great! My own son sides against me…”

He stared and held firm.

“Nah… it’s okay, Vid. I am glad you are on his side.”

“Well, Mom, we’re boys. We are both boys so I am on his side. I was the only boy around here for a long time but now it’s your turn to be the only girl. Your turn to suffer and feel the pain.”

I stared at him completely flabbergasted. “Suffer and feel the pain? Suffer? Did you say, suffer and feel pain?”

“Yep. Yep, that’s right.”

I walked off muttering and shaking my head. There has apparently been a revolution and P is just finding out about it. Boys rule, did ya hear?

But the main thing I am getting loud and clear is there are things boys want and needs the moms just can’t deliver and I am pretty sure Pluto’s transit through Capricorn is going to make this painfully apparent.

Last weekend I went the liquor store for some wine and came home with the report.

“Yeah there was this guy in there and he made all these remarks about my skirt. He liked my skirt, the color of it. It was strange he was all over the thing. Man, look at that green. I’ve never seen a skirt like that.”

“I bet,” the soldier said.

“I haven’t got much up there today,” I said meaning my blog.  ”But what is up there has people talking.”

“What is it?”

“The sissification of men. Women feminizing men.”

“What are they saying?”

“Various things. Deny it or some of them want balance - stuff like that.”

“I am against balance. I think men should be men and women, women and they balance each other.”

“I know that.”

“Yeah, it’s like you have two poles. One is positive, one negative and together you get electricity.  This idea that everyone is contained. Each person has everything…”

“Yeah, I know. There is no flow. You and I flow like crazy.”

“Yeah we do.”

Girl’s Guide Flirt with your bartender = Score free drinks

“The first night I stepped foot in a bar was also the first time I discovered the infamous “Jager Bomb.” Moreover, it was the first time I blew $100 and didn’t have a freakin’ thing to show for it (besides a massive headache and an intense need for some vitamin “G” in the form of an omelet or plate of French fries from Denver Diner.) The next day I woke up in complete horror with the realization that I could have bought the adorable Steve Madden pumps I’d been eying for weeks. Damn! The harsh reality of drunken splurges dipping into my shopping budget was really annoying.”

She goes on to offer her tips to scoring free drinks and here’s a sample of that:

“Some girl trucker got on and got them all going. Stupid jerks.”

“What? What did she say?”

“Oh she said, I think I need to lose 5 pounds.”

I laughed.

“Yeah and some trucker said you don’t need to lose any weight. I just went by you and you looked fine to me. You only saw me from the shoulders up, she said. And then she gave her measurements and they really went nuts. They all started speeding up so they could see her.”

“Just to look at a women?”

“No, I am sure they think they are going to get laid,” he said.

“Are men that dumb?”

“Yeah, I’d say they are. The men I’ve met are mostly dumb when it comes to pussy. When it comes to pussy they have no brains at all.”

“You’d have not liked it,” I said. “Some guy was following me around the store. He even said he was following me.”"Did you tell him to piss off?”

“No.”

“Why not.”

I shrugged on my end of the phone. “Can’t say he was malicious, I guess. But he did collide with me 4 times. The 3 thirsd time he said, I’m following you. I didn’t react and then he managed to run into me one more time on the other side of the store. Hard to say it wasn’t purposeful.”

t-carat writes in regards to the soldier’s asserting that men act differently when women are around as opposed to when they are by themselves:

“They don’t want to get into a crummy fort, they want to get into where the decisions that affect the world are made and where the money is.

If a man can’t work and be himself where women are he’s been living in a cave for the last 2-3 decades…”

t-carat - in soldier’s case it’s been a lot longer that 3 decades he’s been living in a cave. Try many, many lifetimes, but here’s the thing:

I am not sure that relationship between men and women has actually evolved… or that it even can evolve. Women binding their feet years ago in China, did so to attract a man. These days they get breast implants and shoot their faces full of botox and I don’t see the difference. A woman gets money and power and her crotch still aches for a man.

Looking around in 2007, it may appear things have changed, but have they really? From the soldier’s (historical) perspective they have not changed at all. Estrogen is estrogen and testosterone, testosterone. We can dress it up in various ways but does that actually alter anything beneath the surface?

Do you think the interaction between men and women is primal / hard wired or do you think it’s on the move?
