Controlling---men and women...

I know I mentioned this before, but it's so important to relationships, had to repeat it. Had a writers' meeting this week, my first ever. From the gitgo, the only woman present began controlling things. The men, also never having been to such groups, and believing that she had, acquiesced. But after all had read from a favorite author, also on her demand, she said---"Ah, all older white male authors". I let this pass as well, but began thinking later, that another such group might be better for me. This one sort of focussed on poetry, not my major interest, as anyone can see by reading mine. But in chatting with other male pals, all thought her remark was ageist, racist and sexist, very much so. The Left whips these terms around willy nilly, along with a favorite, "Speaking truth to power". Sure, she was insecure, being together with such absolutely brilliant males. Fear brings on defensive controlling styles, often. But we see so much of this, especially in Left leaning women, that it's time to start calling it out. But perhaps not in front of others, as the Left likes to do. Of course racism exists. On all sides. Probably hard wired into the behavioral genome from when rapid recognition of "the other" was adaptive for survival, and for passing on genes. But constant, defensive, self virtue broadcasting of such terms might not be working against the human curse. And how about all us controlling men, in relationships with the ladies? Whence all THAT?

Good point Red. Well, at least I held my tongue. But I'll seek out another group, perhaps. I find there's a range of such behaviors in females, but yep, often at least a trace. The saddest cases are marrriages, with hen pecked (wussified) husbands. God, it must be constant torture. But then again, we often endure that which, at some level, we need, no? Along these lines, one of the men there, a bright older sweet type, who actually introduced her to the group, seems to be a target---of her affection--and control. Ouch!
