An Open Letter to Men
Jan 13, 2011 Political
This letter is to anyone who calls himself a man. Define that how you will.
Today, men, I ask you to think of a female close to you. This can be your wife, your girlfriend, your sister, your mother, or your daughter. Picture yourself standing with that person now. Now, I’m going to walk up to her, without your permission, and I’m going to put my hands down her pants, and I’m going to grab her rear end and her chest. Do you have any problem with that at all?
Oh, well, how about if I tell you that I’ll do it in a “non-sexual way” (whatever that means)? Is it okay then? Will you stand by idly and watch me, saying and doing nothing?
How about if I get people to pass a law that allows me to touch them? Does that make it right? Will you stand there and let me touch them, while you do nothing? What if I tell you that I’m doing it for your own good? I’ll tell you that it’s for your safety. And after all, if I don’t put my hands down their pants, the terrorists will win. Now will you stand by, watching me place my hands wherever I want on your wife, daughter, mother, girlfriend, or daughter?
Sadly, it appears the vast majority of men will do just that.
But not me. I will not stand idly by. And that is why I will not be visiting an airport any time soon. You see, the TSA has decided they have the power to touch your female friends and loved ones in any way they want. And while most males today will stand by and let it happen, I will not. I guess I’m a bit of a dinosaur, but when I witness someone attempting to put their hands down my wife’s pants, I am not going to do nothing. While I do not support violence in general, I do believe in defensive violence, and I do believe in protecting my wife from others who will attack her. When someone tries to put their hands on my wife’s body, I will physically attack them and stop them. I don’t care how many laws are passed or how many badges that person has. It is wrong, it is always wrong, and I will always do everything in my power to stop it. If you will not, you should not call yourself a man.
Now feel free to complain that I’m advocating violence and that I’m to blame for the next act of violence against a TSA worker. In all honesty, I would be glad if I were to blame. Because what these people are doing is wrong, and there appears to be no other way to stop them. They are initiating violence against people, and I am absolutely justified in using whatever means possible to stop them. I’m not the one advocating violence, the TSA workers are — even if they are just following orders.
