It's the adolescence of humanity, I guess.

I've got this whackjob theory that I play around with. It's not something I truly believe, but it's an idea that I apply to things, to see how well it fits. I guess most people wouldn't view that as fun, but I do.

Here's the theory - you know how good and evil are always portrayed as having a mutually dependent, intertwined relationship, right?

Well, what if men and women represent good and evil? What if women represent good? It would make a peculiar kind of sense. We can't possible hate men, we love them as our fathers, our children and our partners. So we try to conquer with love. In exchange, we endure atrocities, we take a subservient position, we give more to others than to ourselves.

Men, on the other hand, might represent evil. Which is the part that comes off as radical. But if you think about the aggressive tendencies, the sexual dimorphism, the drive to be powerful and dominate . . . what else would evil incorporate?

Then I'd go a step further and remind you that religion, as it sits now, was created by men.

It's just a theory. Truth is, I balk at the idea of calling men evil and I recognize that there are exceptions to every rule - evil women, good men (of course, part of me then suggests that everyone has the potential to fall from grace, as it were). It fact, I balk at anything so black and white.

Still. Gotta have fun, hey?
