It’s time for an intervention

“What is an intervention? What is its objective?
An intervention is a deliberate process by which change is introduced into peoples’ thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
A formal intervention, like we are discussing here, usually involves several people preparing themselves, approaching a person involved in some self-destructive behavior, and talking to the person in a clear and respectful way about the behavior in question with the immediate objectives being for the person to listen and to accept help.
Although the intervention process has been formalized, the idea is not new. Thinking back, most of us can remember a time when someone or something - a teacher, friend, or set of circumstances impressed us in a seminal way which altered how we understood ourselves and changed our perspective. Moments like these constitute turning points where new vistas open allowing us to see things differently and to recognize opportunities we did not know existed before.”
Man, oh man, has this been a week of stories about stupid women, or what? No, no, I’m not talking about Paris – although she is dumb as a stump; no, I’m talking about the dead stupid women. Like the one in Ohio who managed to get herself impregnated by the married cop – not once, but twice. And the dead wife of the wrestler with “roid-rage.” Yes, stupid. And I’d also like to address the other women: the brain dead ones who stood by and watched what was happening to the now dead ones.
Women like to say that they’re smarter, more intuitive, than men. It’s true that there are some sharp females out there, but there are also some really stupid ones. What’s really frustrating are the ones who are smart, yet still do really stupid things. And what’s really, really frustrating is that these women are often surrounded by the same types.
The story of Jessie Davis curls my toes because once she disappeared, all the women around her came forward to say that they knew what had happened. Why, it was that Bobby Cutts. Yes, they had seen the train coming down the track – and there are several women who have come forward to illustrate his violent patterns – but not one of these “intuitives” was successful in pulling Jessie aside and telling her that it was time for an intervention.
I’m sure she heard from friends and family that it probably wasn’t a good idea to have a relationship with a married man. I’m sure they shared concerns about her raising an illegitimate child, and I’m certain that they warned her about doing an encore. Or did they?
Sure, some women are blockheads, and it doesn’t matter how obvious the facts of their situation are, they are going to stay in it no matter what. At that point, it’s probably a good idea to forget you know them.
But, no. Women might not condone the behavior, but they understand it, so they think it’s helpful to make lemonade from rotting lemons. Yes, she had this baby, and he’s perfectly beautiful, and it’s not his fault that his daddy’s a loser. And now she’s having a second child. It’s unfortunate, but we cannot hold it against this innocent baby. So let’s throw her a shower to celebrate!
Oh, yes, a big party to validate the stupid decisions she has made. Look! We’re all here, pouring punch, unwrapping gifts, and playing silly shower games, so we must – on some level — agree with and support your decision to be a complete dumbass and endanger your children.
Yes, Bobby Cutts is a lowlife sonofabitch, but all the women around him and his dead receptacle and their baby need to take a moment and reflect on their role here, and accept the responsibility of being just as vile.
