The Mystery of Women
On my voyage through this experience called life;
I have pondered several things that I consider interesting to me.
Key among these things, is the power that women have over men.
I think that my interest in this topic began soon after I finishing reading
H. Rider Haggard masterpiece, "She". It's a marvelous adventure tail set in
Africa involving the Penultimate Woman; Ayesha, "She Who Must Be Obeyed". It's classic, if you haven't read it - buy it and read it now! If you have read it,
read it again - it's a classic. Like classical music, opera, vintage wines,
and older women; it just keeps getting better and better!
I was extremely fortunate to find my Ayesha 48 years ago. I am still puzzled
as to why She chose me. I guess I'll have to wait for Lazarus Long to explain
it to me.
Let me clearly state here, I am not an anthropologist, psychiatrist, or any those
people. Hell, I am not even college graduate. I am just curious as to why.
Why do we, men, devote so much time thinking about them?
Why do we spend so much time and money attempting to attract them?
And in my opinion, it does not make any difference whether we are normal
heterosexual males, or homosexuals, or transvestites, or even the most
controlling wife beating SOBs ever made - all of us want to just what it
is about women that keeps us interested.
I don't think it's just sex. Come on guys, if you seen one porn flick -
you've really seen them all.
All I say is, it's a good thing that women don't judge us with the same standards that we use to judge them.
Maybe it is as simple as the line Boon uttered to Lucius in the "The Reivers" by
William Faulkner. As the young boy, Lucius, stares at full frontal nude female
portrait hanging above the bar in the brothel, Boon says, "It's a mystery."
