Lady Love

I don't mean it like that. I'm talking to you, straight ladies.

It never fails in fictional depictions, when two women realize they are sleeping with the same man or one has been dumped for the other, the ladies go after each other. The man is permitted to stand on the sidelines, unscathed.

If only it was strictly fiction.

Let's take a moment and think about what this really means. A man, driven by his own desires - integrity be damned! - has his cake, eats it, has some more cake, and eats that one too. Yummy, yummy, two ladies filling up his tummy. Yet, for some reason, the ladies would rather blame each other. Is it because it's easier to fight with other ladies? Is it a situation where the ladies think if they blame the man he'll leave them both and, darn it, there goes another "good" one?

No more turning on each other, ladies! If the man involved was a respectable, honest human being, ladies would have no cause to hate each other. If all the ladies banded together, they'd feel better about themselves instead of feeling the need to tear each other down. 

Start with the man, ladies. It's his choices that set it all in motion.

Please, ladies, start lifting each other up. Stop settling for this idea that the man gets to call the shots, and stop fighting over him like he's a piece of shit and you're the flies.
