Cosi FanTutte

(Don't take this one too seriously)

Women! Good God! They're something. Always with the whining and the crying and the "why can't guys be like this?" or "I want to be able to vote too" or "NO, don't touch me there, Jake!" Well, to be honest none of that really bothers me. But, I tell you what does, the idea that women are held to different standards in certain situations. I mean if a man cheats on his wife, then he's a 'no good dirty son of a bitch' (not that I disagree with that). But, if a woman cheats then it's because "her husband didn't know how to satisfy her emotional needs." Give me a break. She's a no good cheatin' whore. But, it's not a big deal. Life is like that, and in fact it's best described in Mozart's opera 'Cosi Fan Tutte' which loosely translates to 'Women are like that'. And they are. All righteous and good when they do right, but when they do wrong then there's always an excuse or for some reason the rules don't apply and it's okay. It's like if some guy girlfriend went to another college and she told you that her friend she met in Europe was coming to visit her. Sound okay, right? Well, at the last minute she tells you that her friend is a male and is spending the night in her room. Que! Ta loca, letting him stay in her room! That's just one example of ridiculousness. Would she be okay if he had his female European friend stay in his room. I hope so, but probably not.

I would complain more about how women are unfairly treating men, but I always remember the hundreds of years of patriarchal tyranny laid upon women unfairly. And to be honest I guess we owe them a little leeway. And even after we've reached some point where we are all relatively equal I still think women will justify their improper and irrational actions because .............. Cosi Fan Tutte.
