Let's try this: ALL women secretly do admit to themselves that they are NOT from Venus and that all men are NOT from Mars, but that ALL of us are from Earth and the real problem is that not all women can deal with that; it's a tacit but shocking Truth and not some modern and convenient 'Pop Psych' placebo that lets them escape the stark reality
of life. The more Madison Avenue tells you that were are irreparably 'different' and misunderstood, the more assume it is true and both are then placed into a needless and negative conflict where none should rationally exist.
My question has always been why does Madison Ave. magazines do this which perpetuates a conflict between males and females; is it simply a tool for profits from the sale of their 'socially significant' influence or is there really an agenda to so change and alter society through some bizarre form of behavior modification that ultimately destabilizes all relationships between the sexes. If one is familiar at all with the history of all the Madison Ave. publications beginning around 1914 to now, it is and has been constant abuse and denigration of both sexes going from one extreme to the other; 'Goddess to whore;
'Adonis' to wimp and all shades in between. Look back on the history of how women have been used and misused in ads and men also with tons of articles that are more denigrating than praise for all our respective differences. Anyone who has worked in the magazine advertising knows how ads depict males and females in a state of conflict, from mistrust; distrust to outright physical abuse always using sex as the luring bate to look and read their latest 'provocative topics' which just further any conflict. Photos of airbrushed models and products are loaded with subliminal images depicting all manner of sexual sadism and death and every four letter word you can imagine. Art directors are told what must be inserted as are the photo dept.'s Those words and images are not meant to produce healthy relationships with the opposite sex ; they are meant to only further produce total chaos and disparaging images/ ideas of all of us to each of us including how we see ourselves filled with 'inadequacies' and self guilt as we fail in repeated relationships in which we seek solace with the miserable excuse that 'nobody understands me'.....The advertising and publishing world really opened my eyes and the view was sickening and totally perverse.
Ok, that is what and how I see about things done in 'secret'.
