But the incident she had described to her father was much more serious, and one that I still<br />
have no recollection of. She claimed that at one point I attempted to rape her. I probably did<br />
get a little too close and a little too rough—but I would never hurt her. I was simply a horny 13year-old<br />
boy.<br />
Word spread throughout the neighborhood and even the adults that should have known<br />
better looked at me like I was a predator. It was a bit terrifying and overwhelming to say the<br />
least. It hurt, I wasn't a criminal or a hoodlum, I was a nice kid. I have always been a weirdo, I<br />
mean really, what straight 13-year-old boys do impressions of Buddy from "Kids/Hall"? But for<br />
the most part I was a decent kid, I always respected her and didn't deserve the ire that was<br />
directed at me.<br />
<strong>The</strong> drama blew over and we became make-out buddies, but 14-year-old girls aren't much<br />
saner than their year-younger selves. Starting high school a year ahead of me meant a new<br />
boyfriend who she didn't tell me about. I didn't know it was over until she tricked me into a<br />
fight with her new beau and his friend. It wasn't really a fight. <strong>The</strong>y just yelled and posed and<br />
threw my skateboard across the street and told me that she was his now. <strong>The</strong>re was no<br />
bloodshed but it still hurt. (She also let my cuter cousin finger-bang her when we were still<br />
going steady.)<br />
Understandably, these experiences shaped a view of women and dating that isn't all that<br />
positive. As fun as they are to look at, it was always safest to remember that women are crazy,<br />
manipulative, scary and overall not really to be trusted. I tell this middle-school tale of woe to<br />
friends, they tell me it was a long time ago, but this idea was formed at a time when the brain<br />
matter is still developing, hence it has been festering in my sub-consciousness and has been<br />
cock-blocking me all my life.<br />
I think it's weird when men call themselves 'feminists'. I could never call myself that, not<br />
because I'm male, but because the impression I get from that ideology is that my evolutionary<br />
quest for biological affirmation (i.e. muff) is something to be either to be feared (Andrea "All<br />
Sex Is Rape" Dworkin) or something to be taken advantage of (Camille Paglia). Honestly, I've<br />
never read either Dworkin or Paglia so my simplification of their philosophies isn't fair, but with<br />
so many ugly dykes adamantly against my favorite hobby, jerking off to porn, I have no<br />
sympathy for their cause.<br />
Though heterosexual feminists may say they like "caring and nurturing" types (see 'pussies'), but<br />
they really don't respect them. What I find most satisfying is scoring flirtation from a feminist<br />
whose bearded boyfriend/fuck buddy/friend-boy/male peon calls himself by that same<br />
name. It's funny watching the looks on their faces, the simmering jealousy and resentment, but<br />
too stuck in an ideology to acknowledge their true feelings. It IS actually is a woman<br />
mistreating them. Now you feel what I feel, and that makes me feel good.<br />
Me: (petting heavily) "What's he so mad about? Is he your<br />
boyfriend?"<br />
<strong>The</strong> Mistress: "Oh No. He's a privileged white male, he's got nothing to<br />
be angry about"<br />
Yeah, it happened.<br />
