I'm going to try to write every day of November, starting today.

This Lifehacker post gave me the idea to write every day, and try for 50,000 words by November 30th.

This blogpost that my niece linked on her facebook page got me thinking about how I view women, so that will be my first topic.

I've got a lot of women friends. I can't imagine treating any of them the way this woman was treated by her husband, and I can see why she felt the need to work out, get big, and get strong. But I'm writing about me, not her.

I like smart women; those who aren't afraid to tell me when I'm wrong (one of you tell me if I'm using the semi-colon properly). I like strong women; those who can have different opinions than mine, but still respect my opinion, and I theirs. Mostly, though, I like girly-girls! They wear make-up, don't fart in public, enjoy showing off their legs with high-heels and thigh-length skirts. They like to look pretty, like to be twirled around on the dance floor, and enjoy my hugs.

I truly enjoy the way a womanly woman makes ME feel! I'm talking about a woman who LIKES to be a woman, and who enjoys the attention of men. My most recent lover was such a woman, and she allowed me to be masculine. In fact, she wanted me to be masculine, and I wanted her to be feminine. Simply resting her head on my chest with my arm around her made me feel fantastic! It made me feel protective, strong, trusted, manly, important. She liked that I had a strong sex drive, liked to look at her naked, liked to touch her, and thoroughly enjoyed having sex with her. She made me happy I was a man. Killing spiders and opening jars was part of the deal too, along with walking my female friends to their cars at night, asking for text messages when they got home safely, and offering to be there should they get in a jam and need a flat tire replaced.

I don't have to bully a woman (or anyone) to feel strong and manly. A woman shouldn't have to feel she should be "weak and fair (complected)" to be womanly.
