I'm not here for your entertainment.

I love Pink. I don't think I really realized it until I heard her new song "U + Ur Hand." Yeah, the song does seem a little grotesque and cheesy, but at the same time, it expresses a point I really believe in.

The main focus of the song is promoting female independence. I think, after having a boyfriend and realizing what it does, what's the point of even having a stable (or unstable) man in your life? I hear stories all the time about how men have abandoned their wives, and how the women are left to take care of the children by themselves. Isn't it usually the man that cheats on the woman? Isn't it, in abuse cases, it's usually the man that's hurting the children and mother? Isn't it the mother that's too afraid to do anything because she cares so much for her children, she's willing to risk death to keep them alive? Isn't it that almost all rape victims are women, ruined by power-driven men? Isn't it men that rule our country, make decisions for us?

Of course, some women put it on themselves. They claim to 'need' a man, and will do anything to get, and keep, one. They'll put up with the abuse even when there's no children in the picture to be harmed as well. They'll do anything their man says just to keep him with her? I've heard stories of women purposely trying to get pregnant so her boyfriend wouldn't leave her. It's hard to put these women in the 'victim' range when they're putting themselves there.

Who I really admire though, is single mothers, independent women, women of influence. It's amazing how a single mom can take care of her children, keep her house clean, manage a job, all while keeping herself and her children happy. Does she need a man? I don't think so. She has friends who will help her, and she can learn to care for herself. What about the high powered exectutive women? Sure, they may seem a little tight, but they're making it on their own. There's no man to keep her back, to tell her she's working too hard, she's doing too much. She's self-sufficient, and she's probably happy.

It just seems to me, that women don't really need men. Not really.

And no, I'm not a lesbian. I just think that before a women even begins to think about being with a man, she has to have a good picture of who she is, and a good life on her own to fall back on. That's all.

Hum-diddly-doo
