"I've never heard . . . ."

“Wow – I have never heard a guy say that before.”
I swear I almost cried then and there. See, I was talking with a good friend of mine, obviously a girl, on IM. We were talking about why I didn’t like the jokes that referred to girls in inappropriate ways. That’s when she hit me with that answer. I just sat there in my chair in a daze. “I have never heard a guy say that before.” I want to cry now just thinking about it. What do you mean? How is that possible? What has happened? Where have they gone too? Girls have come to believe that every guy thinks that those jokes are funny and acceptable. And so the girl must accept them and laugh too. That every guy is a pervert with one thing on his mind. And so the girl must accommodate. What makes it worse is that women believe it (wait I already said that – oh well, I’ll say it again). They’ve bought into this lie and they live their lives thinking that it’s ok. That’s why a wife takes her husband to Hooters for his birthday or their wedding anniversary. That’s why the husband has his collection of Play Boys sitting on the night stand. It is depressing. It is . . . .I can’t even put words to it. I don’t get it. They say, it’s guys like me that were born to late. I’m old fashioned and that’s a bad thing some how. Go figure. She mentioned later in our conversation that she has a promise/purity ring; a promise to remain a virgin until marriage. I have one also, and wear it every day. She told me that while she has it, and sees it every day, she doesn’t wear it. She explained that it’s because some guys see it as an “advertisement.” It took me a bit to understand what she was saying, then I got it. Dynamite. Daze. Again. Are you serious? An advertisement? Come and get me! I . . . .I . . .why? I do not get it. I don’t know what to say. Really. Words are so weak and pointless right now. This is a terrible blog as far as being pleasant to read and well written but that’s not what I’m going for. Oh, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.
