These are the things men say to women on the street

48. that is such a strange statement

"you (presumably meaning "we&quot rule the world"

First of all, what does it mean to "rule the world". These world rulers do not have the slightest bit of control over what I am going to say next or what I am gonna do in the next hour or two. At that point though I probably will goto work.

But even at work I am somewhat self-supervised.

But above me is my supervisor - a woman, and above her is the department head - another woman. Well, my supervisor is herself, semi-autonomous in running her section and the department head even more so. So there is a good portion of my world which is ruled by women.

Okay, furthermore, let's say there is a group of kings with lots and lots of power and they are all men, meeting in a secret hideaway like they do on the Simpsons and deciding things, pulling the strings, as it were. To say that "we" rule the world because a ditch digger like myself and the masters of the universe share the same gender seems kinda silly.

"women are uncomfortable going out alone" and yet everywhere I go I see lots and lots of women (and that's the way, uh huh, uh huh, I like it).

And my observation, as years of being a lone wolf is that most people move in packs, and further that people are more likely to behave badly in packs. As a college sophomore, for example, there was this girl who used to give me crap whenever she saw me in the dorm lunchroom. Once I happened to meet her all alone in some back way around some construction. I noticed she didn't have anything to say.

In my experience, I am usually getting set on by packs of bullies, not by just one.
