That's what SHE said...

Actually, it's what we (women) have all said a million times in our lives.  What's wrong with me? Is it my face?  My ass?  Too fat?  Too thin?  Too dumb?  Too smart?  All of these, along with a million other questions relating to our own self-doubt and insecurities.  These questions get asked when "the one" doesn't ask us out when we wish they would. Or when we think they SHOULD.  They get asked when the cheating happens.  They get asked when the break up happens.  They get asked when we don't get the job we want, or when we lose the job we have.  They get asked when just about anything negative happens in our lives.

So honestly, where does all this self-blame come from??  Why do we torture ourselves with it on every possible occasion??  Maybe he didn't ask you out because he's in love with someone else and hasn't told them yet.  The cheating??  That should NEVER involve self-blame!!  How can someone else's defective behavior possibly be your fault?  Right?  But we do it anyway...UGH!!

Our society lives and breathes blame.  Whose fault is it that we have a huge federal deficit that we can never possibly get under control?  Does it really matter?  Quit pointing fingers and try to fix it!!  Whose fault is it that our health care system is so incredibly fucked up?  Who cares!!  It's fucked up!!  Find a way to make it better!!  Whose fault is it that our justice system is so fucked up??  Okay well, that's all on the lawyers (hehehehe), but still...who cares?  Find a way to fix it!! 

I can very objectively say this about issues concerning the country, the state, the county, the city, the neighborhood, and anyone and everyone else except myself.  Why can I not give my own issues the same "pass" that I give everyone else's issues?  I have no idea.  Call it part of the female genetic make-up.  Call it my upbringing.  Maybe it's society's fault...they give us such high standards to aspire to physically...bastards!!

Well hell...there I go again, looking for someone to blame, huh?  ;-)

STOP THE MADNESS, MY FRIENDS....STOP THE MADNESS!!
