I wish I could say to them:
You’re not smarter than us. I know it
scares you when young women, like us, tell you that. It threatens your
too-inflated ego, and your false sense of authority. You refuse to accept that
the woman of today, are not like the woman of yesterday.
You need to understand that the
dominance that you’ve enjoyed for so many years, while the other half of the
population suffered, no longer exists.
Or:
I’m not sure you’ve heard of the
revolutionary women of today. You see, they will not clean up after your mess. They
will not live up to your expectations. Because they are educated, they will
laugh at you when you say: “We know what’s best for you.” They will have ideas
and opinions and they will discuss them with you. They are not soft. They
cannot be tricked with false pretty words.
And just out of spite, I’d say:
These women are so revolutionary;
in fact that they laugh at poor men like you: The ones still think that we’re
after their attention and approval.
These women learned of a truth: They
are just as human, just as complex, and just as intelligent as you are.
