Dear Man Dear Woman

Dear Man: Where have you been? I’ve been trying to get hold of you all morning.


Dear Woman: I can see that. Six missed calls. What can I do for you?


Dear Man: Listen, I didn’t believe it, but I heard through the grapevine that you went to a Donald Trump rally.


Dear Woman: You heard correctly.


Dear Man: Why would you do that?


Dear Woman: I was curious. I wanted to hear for myself what all the fuss was about.


Dear Man: Curious? How can you escape the fuss? It’s on the television twenty-four hours a day.


Dear Woman: But that’s their opinions. I wanted to draw my own conclusion.


Dear Man: Okay, I guess. Did you learn anything?


Dear Woman: I did. What I learned is that Mr. Trump answers a need.


Dear Man: A need?


Dear Woman: Yes. There are times when things are moving so fast that I just need everything to slow down a bit so my head can catch up. Gay rights, gay marriage, transgender, immigration, Black Lives Matter… It just crowds my brain. It’s not that I want to prevent these people from having a voice. I could just use some time to get accustomed to it.


Dear Man: Well, you need to realize, all these people have been waiting decades–sometimes centuries–for the basic rights that you take for granted.


Dear Woman: I don’t need your sermon. I get that. But it doesn’t change how I feel. The world seems dangerous, and when you see something dangerous, you want a weapon. You want to protect yourself. I’m sorry. Hillary Clinton just doesn’t seem like a weapon to me.


Dear Man: She’s got so much experience! Why can’t you see that? Donald Trump doesn’t know anything about the world.


Dear Woman: I agree. But it’s not a geography test. It’s not a civics exam. It’s about leadership. And I just don’t know if Hillary has it.


Dear Man: Why do you say that?


Dear Woman: Well, first, she can’t even manage her own email.


Dear Man: Not that old story! She’s answered that a thousand times.


Dear Woman: Yes, but it’s the same answer. “I made a mistake but I didn’t know it was a mistake.” Is that what she’ll do as President? Constantly making mistakes but apologizing to us for fouling up? And speaking of that, the main thing that bothers me is having Bill Clinton in the White House again.


Dear Man: He won’t be President.


Dear Woman: I got that. But he’ll be back. And the things he did the last time he was there to defile the Oval Office with his immorality were nasty. And the fact that Hillary stuck with him makes me believe she’s kind of … girly.


Dear Man: You mean you’re mad at her because she forgave her husband?


Dear Woman: I guess so. I would just find it easier to vote for Hillary Rodham than Hillary Clinton.


Dear Man: I get it. It’s because she’s a women Answer me three questions, without thinking too much. Number 1, do you think women are weak? Number 2, do you think women are more emotional? Number 3, are men smarter?


Dear Woman: Wow. I don’t want to do this.


Dear Man: Come on. Be honest.


Dear Woman: Okay. Are women weak? They don’t have the same muscle mass as men. Concerning the second question, I was always told women are more emotional, even by women. And concerning men being smarter, well..they do win more often on Jeopardy!


Dear Man: What?


Dear Woman: I was just kidding about the Jeopardy! thing. I suppose you’re going to say my answers prove I’m a male chauvinist.


Dear Man: No, they just prove that you would vote against Hillary because she’s a woman instead of based on her qualifications.


Dear Woman: I just don’t want any more Orlandos or San Bernardino terrorist attacks. I would like to scare the shit out of them–the terrorists, I mean. Hillary is more like a queen. She’s stately, polite, on-point, courteous. But here’s the problem–the world is filled with pirates. Pirates take down queens.


Dear Man: So what is Donald Trump?


Dear Woman: He’s a pirate. So it’s a pirate fighting pirates. See what I mean?


Dear Man: No, I don’t. Because with a pirate you get thievery, treachery and the danger that he’s going to make everybody walk the plank.


Dear Woman: Well, anyway. Do you remember that story of the man who came across two doors, and behind one was a lady and behind the other was a tiger?


Dear Man: I think so.


Dear Woman: You see, that’s our choice this time. A lady or a tiger. I just don’t know if the lady can get it done.


Dear Man: You know that’s very prejudiced.


Dear Woman: Yes. But I don’t think I’ll be the only one thinking about that when I walk into the voting booth.
