Dear ___________,
I read something today that I would have loved to share with you, if I could ever stand to speak to you again. I always respected you as a professor and an educator. Listening to you teach, whether it was that time I stood in the hall without your knowledge or the time I sat by invitation in your class, always brought a smile to my face. So when I find myself learning something really valuable about teaching, something I know you could benefit from as an instructor, well it makes me want to call you or at the very least write you. But I can't do that. We aren't lovers anymore and we certainly aren't friends. You are someone I used to know. I don't really miss you anymore. Not since I realized that underneath that feminist visage beat the red and bleeding heart of secret misogynist. You are a man more concerned with his ego, his fear of being a cuckold (which is in my opinion the roots of misogyny), and his pride than with anything else you profess to hold dear. There is a reason you are unmarried at forty. Yes, you can form longstanding relationships with friends, even female friends, and family. But you will never be a true partner to a woman until you can let go of your fear that she may take her pussy elsewhere with or without your permission. I could have ridden through the streets like lady Godiva but I would have never strayed. You were to fear filled to respect me as a woman. And while you would have never used the word out loud, I know you called me slut in your heart. So I cannot call you to tell you that while your lectures are funny, oh yes you had a gift for humor, they are too long. If you want to get better results with the students in your class you should vary your activities every twenty minutes. Provide more opportunities for group work and meaningful expression. You should give your students a variety of ways to connect to the material. After all if the goal of teaching is to help student's learn than you can't afford to take the easy way out and simply lecture. No matter how entertaining and funny your lectures may be. Yes, its sad that we can't talk anymore as friends. I would have liked to be friends with you. But how can I ever be friends with someone who doesn't respect me? Especially, as I love and respect myself enough to know that I deserve better than a short blonde misogynist, no matter how smart or how good in bed he happens to be.
Best regards,
The Goose Girl
