Mâle nécessaire for HIM
Not the man you cannot survive without. The man whose presence makes survival feel beside the point.
Le mâle nécessaire. He does not complete you, in the exhausting Hollywood sense. He is not the missing piece, the answer, the resolution. He is something quieter and considerably more useful, the man whose presence makes the whole enterprise of living feel more worth doing.
A fish without a bicycle is technically mobile. But something about the journey feels less interesting. The necessary male is not the man you cannot survive without; it is the man whose presence makes survival feel beside the point. He does not complete you, in the exhausting Hollywood sense. He simply makes the whole enterprise more worth doing.
Life without him is possible. Technically. But who wants to find out?
The smart-tee is available in mid grey mélange. The statement is applied in bright orange flock letters.
This piece is a part of a longer reflection. From the essay "Le Mâle Nécessaire -or- An Ode to the Mâles with the Circumflex".
