Went to a short play earlier this evening. One word: Brilliant! As mentioned, it was very much inspired by Kafka’s ‘Metamorphosis’. The performance was unexpected and I surprise myself by laughing through most of the play. Cheeky at some point, even reminded me of my random moments with my dad (don’t ask). I read ‘Metamorphosis’ quite some time ago but I remembered the events in the story rather vividly. I suppose if you compare the two, turning into a man isn’t as scary compared to Kafka’s version (I’m trying not to spoil the story, so better read it soon). Unless of course, you despise men in general. You’d probably end up hating yourself and your transformation. No, feminists need not worry (or be too defensive about this) because I’m not talking about you or lesbians. Believe it or not, not all lesbians and feminists hate men. Not to mention, I know of some male friends who are avid feminist supporters. ‘Some’ being the keyword to highlight here. In my personal opinion, some men like to think that they are persecuted upon. Mostly straight men. I was once told that at one point, there were twice as many women than there are men. On top of the fact that in every group of 10 men, one of them is gay. I have no idea what the ratio or the specifics are now but I’ve constantly been told that there are statistically more women in the world as time progresses. Like I mentioned before, I have no idea how real these so called ‘statements’ are.
Nevertheless, let’s just say (hyperthetically speaking, of course) that instead of 2:1 ratio, it is now 3:1 and for every group of 10 men, two of them are gay(one out and proud, the other closeted). Not to mention that more and more women are becoming feminists so for every 3 women, two of them are feminists. No wonder they feel persecuted, population of straight men are slowly decreasing. More women are demanding equal rights to everything and anything that was once male territory. Also keep in mind that more women are buying the idea of bisexuality when in comes to choosing partners as compared to hardcore straight men who would rather bang plastic blow up doll than another man. It might be possible that out of 3 women (maybe), there is equally a straight, a bisexual and a lesbian. Plus, I haven’t even mentioned the FTM and MTF community. Oh dear, straight men are kind of loosing the odds, aren’t they?
Oh well these are just figures in my head. Good gawd, the stats I’ve just made up are slowly killing my braincells. Did I mention that I hate numbers and how I see them as pictures instead? I do, very much so. Here I am, trying to kill my brain by over thinking. Yes, I’ve only just realised that I wrote a paragraph of a purely circumstantial situation that was inspired by the words ‘what if?!’. I need a life. Literally. A hobby. A pet. A ‘season’ to keep me from thinking this much. “秋の彼女募集中” That’s probably what I need. If you get this, you can laugh. If you don’t, well tough. I know damn well that online translators will prolly come up with some gibberish. Gawd, I sound evil. :P
