We have to spare ourselves...people not just MEN, will only do what you allow. AND... sometimes men come with good intentions and we (women) and the issues we may or maynot have cause them to want to SPARE US...OR SPARE THEMSELVES FROM US.

If we accept that definition as a viable one, "Spare me" is the poet's reality whether imaginative, presumptuous, unfair male bashing, inappropriate, etc. This was her therapy-to let go of her experiences via written expression. However, if one publicly shares it -well certainly it is open to ridicule and appraisal. As far as male bashing, it is what it is-male bashing is simply negatively stereotyping men whether it is the poet's reality or a shared reality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7660332642942740500.post-23334175822516451072007-03-27T08:51:00.000-05:002007-03-27T08:51:00.000-05:00@Shai...man, as previously stated, I don't like ge...@Shai...man, as previously stated, I don't like generalities and categorizations.<BR/><BR/>Dont give me that line that if it doesn't apply to me, it shouldn't bother me!

No problema. <BR/><BR/>Let me respond: <BR/>- people do share their aspirations too soon at times getting you excited then leave you hanging. People should give it more time (at least make it over the 3 week hump) before sharing certain things. It spares people's feelings.<BR/>-the brother told me that he was on his way to his girlfriend's house. However, he still wanted to get with me.<BR/>-true people can be players and have friends that are not. So, why dwell on it. Keep it real, be yourself but be consistent while in their company (i.e., continue to answer the phone, text me and etc.) He's your boy, not your booty buddy.<BR/>-parents should enjoy their kids. Don't brag about what you and the last girlfriend did and how soon they (she and your son) met if you don't plan to introduce me.<BR/>-in someone's neck of the woods when they mentioned that they'd be elsewhere (especially someone trying to hook up with you.) Not acceptable!<BR/>-answering the phone and telling you it's their girl, Lisa who needs his help because she is going through whatever...once again, not necessary and he can keep it to himself.<BR/>-yes, both hoes and players choose their own paths. Does that make it right that your friend the player may be playing one of my hoe friends without her knowing? Not!<BR/>-actually these aren't past woes, all are quite recent, unfortunately.<BR/>-not male bashing at all. Love the brothers but would prefer being spared the bullshit!!!<BR/><BR/>By the way, I don't believe in fucking coincidences!

While I'm still feeling this poem I do have...OK DC. While I'm still feeling this poem I do have to bend a little and say that you are right about somethings.<BR/><BR/> Alot of the "spare me's" do appear to be based more on assumption than fact, but maybe in her world what she originally thought was just a "bad feeling" or "sneaking suspicion" actually turned out to be true.<BR/><BR/>The one about don't tell me how all your boys are players but your not...your perception may be true for you. I'm sure that you are that guy who trys to keep your boys in check while you're out. But those cases are few and far between. Experience has shown me birds of a feather...you know the rest.<BR/><BR/>And you can't blame a person for bringing baggage from previous relationships into their current ones. I'm not saying it's right but we're only human. We learn from experience, and if someone has been continously hurt or screwed over in the past and they start to see the same behavior in the person their with now, why should they assume that this relationship is going to be any better than the last one.<BR/><BR/>I can see how one might perceive this as male-bashing, but I think she was just speaking from her heart which may not be everyone elses truth, but it's hers.KIKIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13766890795172671563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7660332642942740500.post-40779540457902372372007-03-26T12:25:00.000-05:002007-03-26T12:25:00.000-05:00@Shai..then you aren't paying attentionsome of the...@Shai..then you aren't paying attention<BR/><BR/>some of the things that she listed could be coincidences..like being in the neck of the woods..one its a free contry..personally since I dont have stalker tendencies..i go where the f**k I want. if it was in anyones neighborhood..tough sh*t.<BR/><BR/>also..regarding phone calls.."hey, I need to take this call" oftentimes is met with a "why" if a motherf*****r is programmed to answered that question because he knows it is coming, then he may be prone to give the information up before "why" comes.<BR/><BR/>i consider it male bashing because she ended the poem with "spare me all the bull that comes with you...my brother"<BR/><BR/>not all of the things that she listed have anything to do woth bull and it also sounds like she is dragging all of her past woes into every other situation...thats why.<BR/><BR/>anyone else??? hmmmmm?dc_speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06357394041753433558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7660332642942740500.post-39079372499809759532007-03-26T09:59:00.000-05:002007-03-26T09:59:00.000-05:00@DC, you still did not say how it was male-bashing...@DC, you still did not say how it was male-bashing.

How would you know what both of you are getting into? would it be best to enter into a relationship without know the possibilities of changes in status, IE:financial, job or location.<BR/><BR/>2. how would anyone know what calls are made between the travels..i guess perception is reality.<BR/><BR/>3. some of my closest friends might be players..some of your closest friends might be hoes..i can only be judged by the content of my own character..as previously stated some of my friends' woman should be real glad that I was with their dude to prevent him from boning someone else.<BR/>4. I have 2 sons, one of which lives with me. there is always mixed emotions as to when is the time to introduce kids to someone new. Kids are like sponges and everyone has their own comfort level. Parents tend to enjoy outings with ttheir kids, if a woman doesn't want to hear about that aspect of a man's life, then perhaps she isn't around for the right reasons.<BR/><BR/>thats my opinion!dc_speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06357394041753433558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7660332642942740500.post-12727032457997253372007-03-26T09:03:00.000-05:002007-03-26T09:03:00.000-05:00*snap snap snap**snap snap snap*Shelethahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00805476239882265485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7660332642942740500.post-76534009949489251222007-03-26T09:02:00.000-05:002007-03-26T09:02:00.000-05:00im diggin it...im diggin it...Shelethahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00805476239882265485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7660332642942740500.post-13530708674103892492007-03-25T22:20:00.000-05:002007-03-25T22:20:00.000-05:00It's great when we as women can put our foot down....It's great when we as women can put our foot down.
