The Myth of the Man!

    
Growing up, I was told a myth. The myth described a world in which every man on earth was out to get me. These men, I was told would only use me up....hurt me, abuse me and leave me feeling foolish. But I, like most women still desired to know these 'creatures' called men: and thankfully found that this myth is false.  I found that by interacting with these 'creatures', I would learn a lot about myself.
