“It's Beatrice and that other Ann who
are into pretending men should be of authority if any good at all!”
His girlfriend (whose name also was
Ann) looked at him. “Are you sure?”
“Almost!” he responded. “I feel
quite certain! But to the extent there's a point in it for you,
perhaps you could find out from a girls' perspective!?”
“I guess I can!” she answered. “But
I don't want to jump to conclusions about them; not with you, and not
when I'm checking it in that way! ... So how do you want me to find
out?!”
“Eh, hm. I'm of sure about that!”
“I guess they could be seen as the
bitches that sort of have us all be evil in that sense?!”
“Mmh, yeah, that's what I mean!”
“I feel certain that Beatrice is
actually lesbian, and she that other girl seems straight! Somehow I
feel then that they should not be seen as the same kind of bitchy in
that sense! ... I wonder if it's like one of them is about seeing men
as inferior unless they hurt her, and the other like into wanting to
piggy-back about it?!”
He looked thoughtful. “Yeah I guess
that could be so!”
“It's not like I'm always right or
something! It's not that I couldn't be wrong! Perhaps the two of them
are almost exactly the same - even though I've got something of a
gut feeling to the contrary!?”
He sighed. “Yeah, perhaps that is
so!”
“But, Jeff, how did you reach that
conclusion, in the first place?”
“It's the way the behave, that's
all!” he answered.
“Then I feel we shouldn't be sure to
begin with! Perhaps they're just bitchy because somehow, ... it's
like one of them might have a mother who is like that! The other
might just be sort of trying to pretend to be like that! ... Or
something like that, perhaps, right?!”
He sighed again. “Yeah okay, perhaps
I've been a little bit hasty about them. I can agree that I don't
know their moms, nor if either of them has any like silly faking of
herself as such a bitch.” he said and sighed once more. Then he
added: “But don't you know it?! It's three of that other Ann's and
at least one of Beatrice's ex-boyfriends who have been made to look
evil simply because they were being good to her!”
“Ohh! That guy!? ... I mean that
ex-boyfriend of Beatrice's!? ... Yeah! I find that guy to be a bit
too good to be viewed as such a butthead evil guy!”
“Yeah that guy!” he said feeling
certain she meant the same kid.
“I don't remember his name really!
Was it Oscar?”
“It might have been! Either way I
found out from him, and from two of the other Ann's exes that they
were badly treated as such!”
“And the forth guy?!”
“Him I found out about from that his
mother told my parents about it!”
Now his girlfriend looked thoughtful.
“Alright!” she said. “I'll settle for that she's almost
certainly that kind of an evil! I'll find out about Beatrice
tomorrow, I think! Because, you know, they're having a girls'
gathering in the park near my work place every Wednesday. I sometimes
go to them after lunch. I mean they sit close to where I usually
eat.”
“Great! I suppose they don't want to
talk about it, perhaps, though!?”
“I know, but I'll find out; at least
I think so!”
“Great! But how?”
“Don't you worry! I think I can find
out about them, if you'll only leave it to me!” she said firmly.
“Why do you feel that I can't take
part in that?!”
“Because they feel that those who are
into what a man has been thinking should not be considered friends,
enough even to answer to her questions!”
He looked startled. “Oh! It's all
that bad!”
“Kind of!”
“Alright, Ann! Do it your way then!”
he said, but felt weirdly that perhaps she could be manipulated by
them if she didn't let him in on it. “It's sad but true, isn't it,”
he added, “that they, and not those who say to themselves that men
should be allowed to be modest, are into such esteem about
themselves! ... Right?!”
She sighed. “Yeah, honey! It's sad!
But now I really need you to let me go, so that I don't have an air
of too male friendly for them about me!”
“I can't see the real clue you have
about them unless you tell it to me right away! And I can't find a
way to be trusting you anymore if you don't want to tell me!”
“Then I'll tell you this! I find out
how they behave about me finding it in me to want you to seem to be a
nice enough guy to have as a boyfriend! They try to tell me how
aren't, perhaps, or they try to tell me what to expect from someone
like you. Thirdly, perhaps they try to find out what you really are
of a man - or of a boy, they might perhaps be thinking! ... Now,
how do you want me to find out if it isn't about you that they can
relate to what men are like!?”
He thought about this for a while. “I
guess that it could also be that it's your bro or dad that you'd ask
them about!”
“I know! But if they don't find that
I have reason to think about you, then I can't relate back to
speaking to you without them having a hunch about it!”
“I guess you can find out, then,
about both me and your dad, and perhaps your little bro as well!?”
“I guess I might do that!” she said
and with that they decided to follow through with it that way.
After work the next day they spoke
again about it, and she had found out that they indeed found both her
dad and boyfriend to be silly enough fellows not to pay much
attention to. About her little bro they said that perhaps he was
being an innocent little kid so far, and that could be “fine so to
speak,” they had told her. But later on in life he would probably
grow up and thereby be the type of fellow that perhaps needed to
learn how to make his stands so that he could be “seen as a real
guy to be into as what a man is, and not what he pretends to be when
he's not about being what he really is into that they should fancy
him as!”
“That's just about all they said!”
Ann said.
Her boyfriend looked troubled and
stupefied. “I suppose,” he said hesitantly, “that it's me they
see as the type of fellow who's just faking it! ... and those who
seem to be dishonest as the only men who are for real then, or should
we say to be treated as such?!”
“I guess they meant something like
that you - and my dad as well - can't be trusted for their
kindness, while they themselves - and I too - should be! That I
don't agree with! At least not the part about them being more
trustworthy than you or my dad! But I can agree with the part of it
that is that men in general are not trustworthy unless one sees the
worst side of them already. Because I can find them to find
themselves clever at pretending I should be trusting them just
because they find themselves to be what I should like to view as
trustworthy!”
“I find myself to be an exceptional
guy, then!” Jeff said.
“I guess that a man-woman in a
relationship aught to be about trust in the first place, right,
Jeff?!”
“Yeah!” She saw that he kind of -
or at least almost - mused about it.
Jeff looked at her and added: “Why
then find responsibility in pretending that they aren't ridiculous in
trying to be cute and so, for you, and why not commit yourself to me
for the sake of our relationship to each other!”
She looked at him. “Oh, Jeff! You and
I should perhaps do that! Perhaps we should feel that we are the only
ones to really be good enough for each other!”
“Then why don't you try to feel that
I am the only guy there'll ever be for ya!? ... Or don't you and I
fit together just like Adam and Eve for it!?”
“Yeah, Jeff! I guess we do!”
Thereby Ann and Jeff began a
relationship where she secretly vindicated Jeff's esteem as a guy to
be reckoned with as superior. The two of them thereby were or at
least seemed to be adapted to what that Beatrice and that other Ann
had seemingly had it a man should be. Indeed they (almost
subconsciously) gave up the morals that they felt those two (and, as
they eventually found out, at least a few other women as well, it
seemed) would define as “surface good”. ...
