What if all women were bigger and stronger than you and thought they were smarter What if women were the ones who started wars What if too many of your friends had been raped by women wielding giant dildos and no K-Y Jelly What if the state trooper who pulled you over on the New Jersey Turnpike was a woman and carried a gun What if the ability to menstruate was the prerequisite for most high-paying jobs What if your attractiveness to women depended on the size of your penis What if every time women saw you theyâd hoot and make jerking motions with their hands What if women were always making jokes about how ugly penises are and how bad sperm tastes What if you had to explain whatâs wrong with your car to big sweaty women with greasy hands who stared at your crotch in a garage where you are surrounded by posters of naked men with hard-ons What if menâs magazines featured cover photos of 14-year-old boys with socks tucked into the front of their jeans and articles like: âHow to tell if your wife is unfaithfulâ or âWhat your doctor wonât tell you about your prostateâ or âThe truth about impotenceâ What if the doctor who examined your prostate was a woman and called you âHoneyâ What if you had to inhale your bossâs stale cigar breath as she insisted that sleeping with her was part of the job What if you couldnât get away because the company dress code required you wear shoes designed to keep you from running And what if after all that women still wanted you to love them.
For the Men Who Still Donât Get It, written 20 years ago by Carol Diehl.Â
She wrote a post about the history of this poem that is worth reading.
