edit your feelings...

In the world of conflicting problems between the genders, a court martial must be issued ~ but I'm not your average plaintiff, so mine is with a twist. For a start, it wouldn't be in a standard military courtroom. It would be in the lush savannah of the Serengeti (lol, I am not advertising Tanzania, I promise!). The judge and the jurors? If you picked the cheetah, you are correct; they'd be quick to get a reach a verdict and trust me, that is exactly what I need.

The defendant is that man that many women know very well: he'll charm the life out of you, you'll find yourself under his spell wondering how he did it, you get butterflies whenever you see or speak to him, everything is rosy when he makes an effort and your friends are practically sick of seeing you look like you just found out the secret to eternal bliss when they are drowning in their love-related misery.

The attention slowly diminishes and you find yourself having withdrawal symptoms. You don't want to seem extra and all up in his face but why is he being so...neutral all of a sudden? After all, you didn't chase him - he was the one with his skates on for you. Okay fine, so he isn't your boyfriend but the feelings you have are mutual and from how he acted towards you, you just assumed that you were a top priority. But you know, I can hear the defendant's lawyers making bare noise already about how you aren't his woman so you shouldn't be shooting your mouth off and coming across like a clingy b!tch because he has his own life and he has his boys to attend to and anyway, are you even giving him some? But to answer you lawyers, no I am not and it so isn't about that or is it...?

I haven't decided what sex the cheetah judge is but if it was a woman, I am certain she'd be on the plaintiff's side after all, she knows how the plaintiff feels being in no man's land and uncertain of what is going on between them. Yet if it was a male cheetah, the verdict would undoubtedly side with the defendant. This dichotomy in the courtroom is as intense as that of man and woman. I don't think any woman could go as far as to claim that they know what a man wants so why the hell did the hypocritical anti-Semite Mel Gibson think he knew the answer for women?

Maybe the sick beauty of both sexes is that we don't understand each other; someone needs to create a platform for mutual understanding because girls agonise over this too much and boys hardly ever...right?

p/s -- sorry for any generalisations but I am so fired up today!
