Dear Women That I Have Ever Talked To.
15 years ago
I am an enormous tool forever as well as a huge hypocrite.
For all the talk I do about open-mindedness I don't follow what I preach.
I let one person of a specific type make me dislike a much larger group as a whole, let one bad seed spoil the crop, whatever metaphor you want to use. That makes me a colossal idiot.
Growing up I lived with my mom after... incidents with my father caused him to have to leave us while I was still young (which was good). However, that left me in the care of my mother, who started to talk about how terrible men are, about how they are stupid, how they are pigs, and all sorts of other rather derogatory terms. Unknown to her, I happened to be the odd sort of child that actually liked other guys, and her constant rants about how awful men were without excluding me did a number on my self esteem. It was because of this that I started to dislike women. It was slight at first, but it grew with each rant, with each accusation, and with every passing month I lived with her I liked women less and less, reaching levels of dislike and disdain that I didn't even think were possible when I considered what it was I disliked. I allowed one person, my mother, to taint my view on an entire gender, whom I now don't give an open minded chance when I meet them.
This has caused me to make an ass out of myself on more than one occasion, and while It's too late to go back and fix any of it I still feel bad. I'm sorry for judging you all before knowing you, I'm sorry for being on guard around you all the time, and really I'm sorry for being a prick.
I do want to note, however, that it is not the sexual organs of women that make me hate them, those just make me uncomfortable, but because of my discomfort with them I also acted like a major tool today... Regardless, this is pretty much an apology to any woman I have had the distinct pleasure of talking to and ended up offending... I am usually not such a disrespectful prick, even though none of you are going to read this.
Well.. that's certainly a huge wall of text.

SO, knowing this is the first step towards not mindlessly following what you were taught as a kid - which is the secret to true adulthood :3
