The other day a bat flew into my house. It was a big, ugly, mean thing that found is way to the bathroom. Because I am what is known as the man of the house, it was my job, say, my manly duty, to rid the house of the soul-threatening creature.
I went for the broom. Thus armed and protected, I threw a pillow at the thing. It didn’t move. Then that old feeling started to come over me. It was the same feeling I experience when t am dispatched down the stairs in the middle of the night to see what made a noise. Being a man does not change the fact that I am afraid of bats, and my feeling can be summed up in one word—trapped.
All men, I think, have had that feeling of being trapped in some male role. Sometimes it is as trivial a matter as carving the turkey. But sometimes the trap is a vicious one. There are lots of men who would prefer to the something other than the stereotypical male. Maybe they don’t give a hoot(不在乎) about careers or money or, say competitive sports. Some of them would rather that the women in their lives initiated the dates, or at least some of them, and shared the expense.
As I stalked(潜近猎物) the fierce and frightening bat, I wondered what would have happened if I had simply told my wife that I wasn’t going to mess with the thing—that she could, or else call someone in the morning. But I couldn’t do it. I slowly opened the window and closed the toilet-bowl cover. I checked the place over and then, carefully. I lifted the broom over my head and sort of swept the thing out the window. Just like that, it was gone.
My wife was thrilled. A house guest was awed. They asked me how I had gotten rid of the bat. I started to tell them, but then stopped.
A man doesn’t talk of such things.
