Crazy Ex Letter

Improved Essays
From the "crazy ex".

I am writing this letter to you today, one year later, to let you know just how much you affected me. I am sure you don't even think twice about me, but I am asking you to just read this letter and, hopefully realize, how much being a female in a world of masculinity sucks. I also hope you see the impact your words had on me.

Let's start on a positive note. First I would like to thank you. I have now become more aware of people's intentions, realized my calling in this world, and learned to never ignore my gut (or red flags); all due to my "relationship" with you. Now, when I am walking through Walmart and I see a guy look at me I am automatically scared he has horrible intentions. So I plan out my move ("Okay, go to aisle one swerve at the soda display to catch him off guard. If he follows, just turn into a ninja and use your pepper spray to get him right in the eye) and by that time I realize he isnt planning on attacking me. I have realized, through this experience, just how much I want to fight for girls and boys that have had to deal with crappy people like you. People that decide they are superior to the everybody else; people that think they can just go around using people like pieces of paper.

I let my guard down a bit figuring, again, I could get out of it if need be. Your comments about my beauty even went as far as making me believe you were perfect- that you could never hurt anyone. You put on this fake front, but soon the real you showed through and by that point I was in way too deep- you scared me way too much for me to get myself out of the toxic "relationship". I had realized that no matter what decision I made, your threats would still be on repeat in my brain until I

    To Ms. Hymowitz, Hello Ms. Kay S. Hymowitz, I’m writing this letter to you to talk about the recent writing that you have worked on, Where Have All The Good Men Gone. First off, I congratulate you on the great work that you have done. Your writing is very strong, and although you have great evidence to support your claim on how these generations of men are continuously living in pre-adulthood, I believe that you should also take in consideration that not all good men are completely gone. A good man is a term that can be defined in many ways.…

    My views of gender, in general, have been reshaped. The book, videos, and class discussions have contested many aspects of my everyday life and the video Tough Guize truly resonated with me. I am raising two young boys and am glad to be learning the concepts of patriarchy and the social differences between men and women. The topic of gender in this class has left me with many questions and concerns as they grow up to be older boys, teenagers, and adult. There is an element of despair that I have about the role that society plays in guiding gender.…

    Growing up, I never felt segregated based on my gender. I was always treated the same and given the same options as the boys were. It wasn’t until later in high school and college where I started noticing gender differences within society. The “glass ceiling” was clearly evident in the business world, but I’m not fully exposed to that, being that I’m still in school. The history of gender inequality, on the other hand, was something I was completely unfamiliar with.…

    Moving forward: Growing up was challenging, to say the least. I always felt like an outsider in the home and was treated differently from all the other kids in the family. My mother treated me more like a servant than a child and never showed me any kind of parental love or nurturing. In fact, even as a small child, I knew that I was not loved by her which was an extreme burden to bear.…
