RETURN OF THE RANT!

This rant has been brewing since Saturday night and by now it has worked up quite a potent consistency. That night, I decided to go out to a party for once, see some of my friends, socialize, and just unwind after a rather long day. For some reason, for a few drastically delusional divas, this was not acceptable. My innocent presence appeared to them to be an attempt to get into their pants. At one point a group of apparent strumpets-in-training were dancing near where I had left my party supplies, but it seemed to them, that my only reason for being there was to try to seduce them to do horrible things (as if filling one's body with alcohol to the point that all senses are numbed isn't horrible enough to do to one's self) and with their senses dulled they said, thinking I couldn't hear them, "we should probably move, we don't want to be raped." Now I have no qualms with women being cautious and safe, however 1. these were not women, 2. I had made no advances,nor had any intention of contracting any of their venereal diseases, and 3. Suggesting an innocent, kind hearted person is a rapist is like raping the character and reputation of that person... oh and 4. I doubt anyone would even want to have consensual sex with them let alone rape them!

Now that event on its own seems more comical than infuriating, like a nudist worrying about someone stealing their clothes. But I was so unfortunate to experience other acts of girl's egos gone wild that night which ignited this fiery rant. A few girls I knew from other collegiate activities showed up at the party, and normally, when one sees people they recognize, a friendly greeting is proper and customary. However apparently saying hello, means "I want to get in your pants" and the only proper response is a to say "hi" then give a glance of pure disgust to the greeter. Once more, that alone would not have bothered me, but then, those same girls, who were clearly offended by the abhorred word "hello" happened to be in a room with one of my friends. Now once again, it is quite normal for a person to go talk to their friends, but apparently, me being in that room was yet another sign of me trying to get in their supposedly desirable pants, and they left the room without saying a word, but scoffing, and exchanging glances that clearly said, "run, before he sullies our oh so shameless names by possibly asking if we're having a good time." At this point it was clear that I was making them uncomfortable by being there, and being a gentleman, I decided to leave.

The outrageous thing is, I should not have felt like it was necessary for me to leave. I felt unwelcome because a few people thought that my presence, as an invited guest, as a friend and teammate of one of the hosts was unacceptable because they thought I was just there to have my way with them, while not actually knowing anything about me.

This is the root of the problem... gossip and here say, "Oh I heard he's a creep, so you better stay away..." when they don't wonder "well who says he's a creep" and then come to discover it was one crazy girl who may have been put off because the so called creep wasn't interested in her. Which seems to be my predicament, but for women too, the modern version of the scarlet letter haunts many innocent girls and women when they're called "sluts" just because they may have once or twice given in to natural desires which we all are troubled by at one point or another. The only true slut is the person who violates the reputations of other people by thrusting in their own ignorant judgments on matters which do not even involve them.

However, I give other people too much credit. In general, the social interactions of people are pretty disorderly, and often comically pathetic. There is no real way to find order or fairness in social interaction because social activity itself is governed by the masses, and the masses, though home to a few intelligent individuals, as a whole are mindless and obey only its own shared desires.

There can be no faith in people, only individual people with faith that someday,there will be enough bold individuals to show all the people who they really are, and to be truly united, every person must be an individual above being a part of the masses...
