Something about a Hunter?

Player. In a .Management. Profession. (thought it applied)

Basically this story is all about a woman who can't get over a cheating boyfriend. The author builds her up as intellectual, smart, cunning, gorgeous, etc. Basically she is described as the type of girl most guys dream of. On top of that, she has no name, signifying that she can be any girl in the world.

The hunter is basically a player. Although to be more in the mind of an english teacher, we could say that the word "hunter" is a metaphor. Not only does this man hunt animals but he also hunts women, so basically he is a predator. Except, predator in this sense does not imply rape or sexual abuse or anything you would see on C.S.I. or Law and Order SVU. Predator here basically means what i said earlier, player. He plays women. In this day and age he'd be called a "pimp." (get it? player in a.... nvm). So anyway, this "predator" has no name, again meaning he represents every male. On top of that, the scene of these two starts out in bed, basically already insinuating a sexual relationship. Also, this guy has fifteen other messages on his machine from other women (dang he's good, fifteen? has he no life?)

Apparently, he likes country music, which alread puts him in my bad books. Then add that he is a republican and well.... safe to say i'm not his drinking buddy. The girl on the other hand loves rock and roll, is kind of spunky in a way (don't ask, i'm writing half of this while not awake. so don't blame me), and is a democrat. Sounds to me like the quintesential cool rocker chick guys fall for. Unfortunately throughout this story she is revealed again and again to let her emotions get in the way of her thinking. She is too blinded by her emotionial strings being to attached to him to realize that she's been cheated on with fifteen other women. (i think that's a new record...) So to me it seems as if the message in this story isn't so much "how to talk to a hunter" more as: "Ladies! yeeeeah!? (Run DMC anyone? no? thought not...)

Right, all jokes aside, I think the main message of this story is, like a feminist on repeat, men are pigs, not lovers (fish are frie.... sorry). So basically, i think the message is for women to have a mentality as quoted in the last part of the story (and possibly the coolest quote i'll ever write), "take it when he says 'I don't want to hug anyone else.' Substiture the 'hugging' for 'f***ing' and take it as a compliment."

So after writing all of that. i could have just said: men are pigs. women- be pessimistic and all will be good.

^ain't that a beezy.

So far we have, "men are hunters and players, they play women, and women, poor poor women are always the victims." Personally it seems like an ignorant feminist on repeat.
