Assumptions
I do not like it assumed that I am a weak female, I am not. I do not like it assumed that I am stupid because I am a female, I am not. I do not like it assumed that I do not like help, I do need it and want it. I do not like it assumed that I am not worthy of such offers of help because I am not a hot young blond acting all stupid and weak, I am not nor do I act that way.
This was brought on by something I did today. I have in the past, as I did today, gone to the Kentucky Horse Park and literally shoveled a truck load of compost myself. Then I have proceeded home and unloaded that same compost, myself. Now, most of what I do I do because I enjoy it and I like/love to do it. When I went today, I knew I would have to do it myself and I went prepared. When I got there a young man was in a front loader leveling the road, I had to get out of the truck to ask him where I would be out of his way until he got done. Here I am talking about assumptions and I have doing it myself. I really believe the chivalry is dead in most of todays youth. I also believe that we are such a sexually charged society that most of our thoughts focus around such things. I haven't a doubt in my mind that if I had gotten out of the truck with a hot body, blond hair and shorts cut so that half my ass hung out, that guy would have volunteered to load my truck for me. I don't ask for things I know I can do myself, I knew they weren't loading the compost today. But, if I had been the one in the front loader and someone, even the most able bodied person in the world had gotten out of the truck, I would have offered to take the 5 minutes it would take to load their compost for them. Maybe I am way off base but I don't think by much.
I know I can't expect anyone in general to read my mind, and maybe if I had asked he would have. I am just complaining. Not really being fruitful. I just wanted to unload a bit.
