What's wrong with men?

Today I was asked "What is wrong with men?" This from a friend who received a picture of some guy's cock on her phone.

I'm not sure if there's anything WRONG per se. I think as a gender, woman have taken liberation to an extreme. We've allowed men to talk to us like whores, be disrespectful and generally revert back to being complete animals. Because of this, men think it's ok to behave this way towards all of us. No, I don't think it's ok to send a picture of your cock to someone who is a virtual stranger - unless of course they actually asked you for it. I believe in a "live and let live" philosophy. I don't think there's anything wrong with a woman embracing her sexuality, but hey guys...make sure she actually wants you before waving your not-so-adequate dick in her face. Try to make SOME sort of overture. Ladies, it's not all their fault either. We've allowed this to happen and now we all have to pay for it. Personally, even if I'm looking for someone to spend time with occasionally, I do not want to be treated like that. Have the same respect for me that I will show you.

Last night a friend told me that her husband decided to leave her. Within three days their house was on the market and he has pretty much told her he's cutting her off. Of course, this has not stopped him from asking for sex. He gave her some very lame excuses as to why he's leaving her and none of them make sense. She wasn't expecting this. She's holding up remarkably well under the circumstances. Once again, my faith in men is shaken. She's not the only woman in my life being screwed over by a man, just the latest. I am torn between feeling lucky I am single and wanting a man in my life. I am also reminded of the fact that ALL women need to be and STAY independent. Never allow a man to hold all of the cards. He may leave you and take them with him and then where are you?

It is becoming apparent that I will be looking for someone soon and I really think I want to limit it to sex. I have a friend who is splitting from his wife and may be looking for a place to live. He is adorable, funny and easy to be around. He hasn't hidden the fact that he's attracted to me but was always faithful to his wife - at least he was as far as I am concerned. Now, of course, being married is not an issue. He doesn't strike me as the "type" for my particular proclivities. He's supposed to come by some time next week to see my house. He asked me to meet him at the door in an over sized button-down shirt and nothing more. I'm not sure if he's kidding or not... I may have to hide the "tools" of my hobbies, no?
