Woman in Name Only

I have a favor to ask.  It’s not a big ask.  But it would mean a lot to me.  I realize that you don’t know me, and if I were you, I’d probably be hesitant to commit.  But I’m going to ask anyway. Before I do that, I’m going to

Checkers

I saw a video the other day of someone paging through a book found in the library of her kid’s school.  The book explained how preferred pronouns worked and how important it is to always use them so you can reinforce someone else’s delusion. The book obviously didn’t use those

Their Words, Not Mine

The First Amendment is a powerful thing.  It defines our right to say whatever the heck we want.  In the United States, no government can stop anyone from speaking their mind. But can it also protect you from someone forcing you to say specific things?  No.  Not yet anyway. A

Government Workers

One thing I’ve noticed lately is that, in general, people are horrible at their jobs.  It seems that whenever I interact with anyone, I’m met with attitude, incompetence, or both.  It didn’t used to be that way.  As recently as a few years ago, people seemed to care about doing

Indecent Exposure

If there’s one thing I don’t understand, it’s nipples.  Oh, I know what they are, and I know what they’re for.  But what I don’t understand are the rules that pertain to whether or not women can display them in public. There was a post that was recirculated a week
