The “inequality” of equality

Recent events in the news have really got me thinking about this whole thing of gender,sexuality, etc even Supreme Court Thomas has been “called out” for saying everyone is too sensitive. Strange in life how everyone wants to share their opinion on their beliefs but despise the idea of your sharing your thoughts with them?  I can no longer say Woman in the work environment, I have resorted to a more politically correct term, so I now reference women as Gyn-no-American.  Yes, go ahead and call me a pig, but I have to go a little further and state I have gay friends, etc and that some of my “best friends” know gay people. So I am coming out of the closet to state like the majority of my friends, I am a flaming Heterosexual!!!, Yes I said it, and because I have kids, I am in fact “Pro Vaginal Intercourse”!!!!!!!!!!!With the internet, social media  and such, now everyone can comment on Facebook,twitter, etc on the world-wide web, all of the injustice in the world.

Why do I have to shout these kinds of things?, because I feel left out, I am so busy working to support obamacare, more taxes, 16 trillion in debt, who is going to speak for the “average”, Coffee slurpin, tobacco chewin, skoal spittin, Dunkin Donut eatin, Gun toting, “Duck Dynasty” watching  Guy?. Why is It getting harder than viagra to get a fair shake in humanity? Speaking of some women….. The new normal has been to recruit women into the work place which I agree,   we are all tired of Pale, male and stale, however the question in my mind becomes should there be equal pay for equal work? so to rephrase this, with so much effort to have women in the work place, does that mean we should have a sacrificial worsening of the work day for single men and single women in the work place so married women can get home to take care of and be with their kids? So with that in mind, I guess single people should stay single and never go home so that we can all support the women recruits with higher salaries in the workplace? Why worry about Single fathers, divorced mothers and for that matter married men whom love their children and despite what society thinks, we love our children and cherish every moment with them,as far as I know there is no gender that deserves to enjoy their kids more than the other, “N’est Pas”? Are my children less important than the new recruit? And when the great recruit goes home early, what about all us schmucks working so late at night when we get home, our kids are asleep in bed.? What about us?…..Why don’t we just be honest… It’s not about gender, sexual orientation, or religion, it’s about color, the color green.  Those whom generate green in great quantities, are always welcome, do you think the college football player whom just came out of the closet  will be an issue for the owners if he runs a 4.4 forty time and does 225lb bench press 40 times?  I doubt it, he is a physical beast that will fill seats, how dysfunctional a society are we? could he be compared to all the issues heterosexual males in pro sports get into? Murder, Mayhem, drugs, infidelities, child support, do I need to go on….that is well tolerated and accepted by our society and some guy has the courage to come out and he is the exception??? I encourage GLBT (Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual/Transgender) As I have always said, the community should not be denied the right to come home to nagging,lazy,dysfunctional spouse, or experience the emotional turmoil of divorce, an angry ex, no payments for child support or alimony? why should all the heterosexuals have all the misery, does it not love company?

This past weekend I again experienced the inequality of equality.  My children’s school had the first, “parent/child” dance.  This was to replace the father/daughter dance.  Apparently in the new normal of politically correct society the school based on the recommendations of the parents decided to be inclusive and include mothers so that they do not feel left out.  Well, I was very disappointed by this decision, most households with two working parents, one parent takes the more full-time job that pays the best and the other works the lesser paying job, usually the parent of the  lesser paying job has more of the home responsibility, but also has the greater experience of spending more time with the kids. In the US population, men usually but not always end up with the higher paying job and therefore are home less frequently and spend less time with the children, however it does not imply that the father would not want to spend more time with his children, in other words we value every moment, memory and time we can hold our child’s hand, wipe away their tears, or help them understand their homework.  The dance this past weekend was a success!!!! So many fathers were there, dressed with coat and tie and beaming with pride as they danced with their daughter, including yours truly. Nothing can possibly explain the joy, emotional fulfillment of having your daughters small hands grab yours and tell you, “lets dance daddy”! Despite the fairness, I felt that the men  had their moment diluted and in some ways marginalized.  I believe that most of us are honored to dance with our daughters and look at the smile on their faces as the music and rhythm moved our feet. This was the moment we all want to share and share privately with our brethren in our time, in our space…..
