Well, I can honestly say I don't think this has ever happened to me, where a man was purposely being an asshole to me as I went about my business. According to the responders to an article in, 'The Guardian,' a woman could be walking down a sidewalk and be shoved and cursed at for not getting out of the male's way. I have linked the response article to the original story where Lucy Pasha-Robinson chronicles moments where men have been verbally and physically abusive towards her just for taking up space. It's shocking to read and difficult to understand what exactly is going on. The majority of these women claim that if they had been accompanied by a male the incidents would have never occurred. 

So, what's going on guys? Are you really that angry with us to the point you need to behave in an aggressive manner? The reason I don't think I've ever had to face a situation like this is because I try to be aware of what's going on around me. If I do happen see a lone male walking my way I move. I don't care if you are offended. I'm not taking chances. I also never look at my phone when I'm walking, but I do keep it close. 

But... hear me out, ladies. What if you are in the wrong? Are you looking down at your phone, completely involved in whatever is on it rather than what is going on around you? Are you the one who refuses to give way on a sidewalk and expect the male to move? One woman in the article even admits she won't give way if she is toe to toe with an immovable male subject. It just seems odd to me that suddenly men are turning into alien beings who are turning on women as they walk down a street. I have not had a close encounter with a male but I have witnessed many times when a woman is digging in her purse as she walks, putting on lipstick as she looks in a mirror as she walks, stopping, starting, stopping, starting as she walks, completely oblivious to her environment. That's why we must remain vigilant. All. The. Time.

Either way, everyone stop with the attitude. It's childish and pointless. We still need each other.

Don't we?

Guess who I ran into the other day? LUCY HAWKINS! She was applying her makeup AND digging through her purse while walking down Main Street. I should mention I was practicing walking backwards, so now that I think about it, we both mighta been at fault.

I went into a coffee shop the other day and every single one of the patrons was staring down at their phone.

She's Still Dead

   Ashli Babbitt was a traitor to this country. They can have all the ceremonial shenanigans the military likes to present as the deceased has been offered full military honors (We all know who requested that) it still won't negate the fact that she and thugs like her stormed a government building to do harm to others. They shit in the hallways. They carried confederate flags. They brought zip ties, bats and rage. The current regime can sugar coat it all they want but one day the orange man will be manure for his golf course grass and we can go back to truth being important. She deserved to be shot. More of them should have been shot that day. Every police officer should have followed the example of the police officer who did his job that day. These deplorables remind me of the fictional character, Ignatius J. Reilly, a lazy, selfish narcissist who decided to gather the factory employees in protest of some useless, archaic self indulgent mischief. He brought from home his soil...

Benny, Benny And No Regrets

  It's just so hard to keep up with maga creeps. Here's Benny  Johnson, the guy who started the rumor that DC was a cesspool. He also claimed his house burned down while his family was in it. He's a liar. His house never burned down. You really can't believe much of what this asshat says because he has a habit of playing with facts. He also likes to steal other people's words. He has been fired and suspended numerous times for plagiarism, at least 41 times. It just boggles my mind when these people blatantly lie, then are outraged when called out. People like Johnson, Trump and Leavitt have probably lived their whole lives creating a make believe existence where lying is the norm. At some point it just becomes routine where they find lying acceptable and necessary. To me they are empty shells of mindless walking automatons. They live in a bubble of falsehoods. These are the people in charge of our country.  The NYTimes has done a story about Pinocchio Johnson. I dec...

An Empty Vessel

He fills his head with Bible quotes  to silence the storm inside  An empty, hollow shell he mimics in disguise  You were not wanted You were unplanned  You are a nothing You have no stand  He bows his head and speaks in tongues  to still the flames of rage the pretender, fake, the fraud  hiding in plain sight You were a mistake  A thirty minute accident  a constant regretful memory  who seeks reason to breathe  from holy ghosts  and devils in red ties  the more you take the lesser man you are smoke and mirrors a shifting shape unseen  You are a mistake  You know it well A fake, a fraud, a lie. *Yes, I'm thinking of a certain someone we know.
