Rag Doll

Jealousy. Is it possible to be jealous of an idea?

I am a man-sized woman. As tall as a man, as strong as a man, as hungry as a man, as heavy as a man. An Amazon for the romantic, Shrek's cousin to the rest. And yet I want to be treated "like a woman". Whatever that means. I am jealous of this woman. I am jealous that her belly can be covered by a man's hand.

When a man is larger than a woman, he is both potential threat and potential protector. I am so very tired of "average" sized men: men who are no more than overgrown women, men whom I can push around, men who cannot push me. Men who make me feel more like a body than a woman. Men who make me feel nothing at all.

I want a man strong enough to enforce his will. A man who can pick me up, hold me down, toss me around like a rag doll. A man whose strength confines me, and in that confinement protects me.

Well, oh, gee.

I'm a tall woman, too, 5' 10". I'd need an *awfully* big guy to feel petite, so I relate to a lot of this post

No, I don't desire to be thrown around like a rag doll :), but I am intently attracted to power, be it in size, force of will, intellect, personality or all of the above. I *do* like guys who are "bigger" than I am in at least some of those categories.

But, ya know, I'm not envious of that woman in the least. She's ordinary. She's the ordinary, average woman-o-porn. I'd shoot myself before I'd be her, really. Plus, the guy who wants her wouldn't be the guy whom I'd want. My guy has a little more imagination and depth than that.

I read your blog. It's been hard to comment on the last series of posts because I don't know what to say that's not trite "there, there" or stupid "don't worry, there's someone for everyone". But this one, I'll take a stab at.

Forget her, she's ordinary.

hugs, E

E,

You're absolutely right. She *is* ordinary. But she has the man and I don't.

It is ironic, I think, that I am invisible precisely because I take up space.
