I wonder if the author has ever considered that people really do think about work, or math, or engineering solutions, or that chapter of Blake they read the other night, or if they packed the bearings properly on that TR-250 they have been working on for the last couple of years...

I’d say based on what “it” wrote the crackup happened years ago.

She should be strapped in a chair and forced to watch All in the Family reruns... LOL

What if you are an intersectional feminist and the traffic light is out?

First two questions for everyone else:

1)What is an intersectional feminist?
2)Are you one?

I’m quite happy with my prejudices. I keep them to myself, harm no one, and have no desire to change.

Of course, they have to ask these questions on the ‘first date’

There will never be a second one..............
