That’s supposed to be Biker Babe, but now that I think about it, I’ve evolved into more of a Baker Babe. LOL
I read my post to my husband. He laughed, but then reminded me that some people make no attempt to conceal their disdain. A couple years ago, we were shopping, and a couple women started grabbing shoes off the rack and throwing them at him, while calling him names like “cripple” and “retard.” This was by far the most overt show of hatred he’s experienced, though worse things have been done to him behind his back.
Most of the people we encounter are very supportive. Those who view my husband negatively for his disabilities tend to keep their mouths shut about it. I’d like to think it’s out of politeness, but anyone whose brain works that way is probably just too cowardly and dishonest to say what they really think. Either way, I’m grateful my husband is rarely confronted with their ignorance and hatred.
When I see the nasty comments some FReepers make about Jahi McMath, Terri Schiavo, and others with cognitive impairments, I wonder how these FReepers behave in public. Are they the ones who keep their distance, curl their faces up, and whisper vulgarities in hushed tones; or are they the ones who scream and throw shoes?
“That’s supposed to be Biker Babe”
I should have realized that.
You can see where my head is at, thinking it to be baker.
