Feb 2014

looking at my coffee cup right now and asking advice on what stock to buy. The coffee cup will have a better chance to actually have something of value for me.

I grew up in an atmosphere of some men always putting the girls and women down and reminding us that we are really good for one thing. then the heh heh hehs, and if a woman was in a professional field well that only meant she was a whore, heh heh heh, you know the world's oldest profession. Etc., etc., always the message that they were the Great Gods and we were the Nothings.

Surrounded by that, plus throw in the Catholic church and their great ideas for and about women, and you get the picture.

So these guys here are little pathetic pikers compared and I visually imagine them in most interesting ways when they talk stupid shit.
