feeling ironic

I know it's hard not to knock emotional inquiries - there's nothing
more funny than feeling.  Perhaps "the secret" to mastering such
things is as simple as a vagina.  If you were required from a young
age to bleed one quarter of your life away in debilitating pain maybe
you'd have a stronger grip on your ability to face things that make
you uncomfortable. 

But I digress.  Getting laid is not the issue here.  I'm talking
understanding regardless of sex... er, gender (I forget which one I'm
supposed to be using these days).  I want it, I want to be able to
provide it.  That's what being a friend, a girlfriend, a lover is all
about, no?  But it seems like so much of male-female interaction is
pre-programmed (girls feel, guys don't/men choose with their head,
women with their heart/etc.) that there's no way to break through to
anything resembling honesty.  It may not be overthrowing fascism, but
it's not too far off - that patriarchy's a real bitch, after all.  I
want some new rules/no rules... yes, no holds barred, that's what I
want.  I had thought ballistic helmet was with me on that one.
