Why Men Drive Women Crazy

Short, sweet, and to the point. That's what's great about this poem. Kudos to Margaret Atwood for proving that it is possible to show your emotions in a simple way. “You Fit Into Me” is much more than a four line, two stanza poem. It is a story much deeper than that. It is one of anger and frustration. It is the classic story of men driving women insane.
For centuries, men have always criticized women about everything from having a child of the incorrect gender to not being as attractive as our best friends. Well boys, I hate to break it to you, but you are in for a rude awakening. I'm going to let you in on a tiny little secret that women have know about since we were formed from a rib-YOU are the cause of our ever-changing emotions. Yes, it's true. The cause is not our hormones or our “time of the month” or our wonderful, beautiful pregnancy. No. The cause is men. Women cannot even brush their teeth without being bombarded by questions or being told how to do such-and-such “properly”. If we want your help, we will ask for it.
Men who see “their woman” as imperfect and desire for her to change have quite a bit of growing up to do. The difference in maturity levels between men and women are astounding. When we tell you “you should grow your facial hair out” or “don't cut your hair that short” we are simply trying to help you out because we hear what other people say about you. On the opposite side of the spectrum, men tell women to change simply because they do not wish to take the time to actually sit down and have a legitimate conversation with that particular woman. If you knew why we react to some things so strongly, you would understand how we think and feel, and you would almost never be “in the dog house.” Wanna know the reason we put you on the couch so much? I will give you a clue: we do not tolerate annoying, ignorant people.
A man who ends a relationship because he is too immature to discuss problems in that relationship are not men, but scared little boys. Men must learn to accept the reality of life. Women are much more mature, we only get angry because you refuse to take the time to understand us, and some days, we just want to talk. Learn this, and you will never lose another woman.
