That makes sense. Children are a McGuffin, mere human shields.
So, the only remaining question is. Who are these fruit loops and why does anyone with a grain of common sense allow these people a stage.
I sometimes hope for a Milligan style persona to come forth in fits of laughter to decry us all for the sheep style cluster f^ck we’ve become. Either way, it’s some achievement.
So at work a group of about three wimmin' heard me telling my work wife lady that we, males, were appoximately 50% stronger than females.
One of the wimmin', a burly and very athletic germanic type (quite a jolly and pleasant character btw) scoffed and said she bet she was as strong as me. I offered her an arm wrestle there and then and she accepted.
Before we commenced I explained to everyone who'd started gatheringing around to see the old man humiliated, that not only would I win easily but when I decided to put her arm over she would have practically zero physical resistance to offer.
I toyed for a few seconds before emphatically finishing her off and she was absolutely mortified at how much stronger than her I was, as were the other women.
I quickly established that none of them had ever entered into any kind of test of strength with a man and they had basically fallen for being continually told they were as strong as us.
I really thought/hoped this story was going to turn pornographic, h. :-(
Mind you, this was amply demonstrated the other day on a tweet I saw where some chap (who was just your average gym bunny) posted a clip of him smashing the women's deadlift record in his gym whilst satirically claiming he identified as a woman while doing so. To anyone who objected he simply said 'Don't be a bigot'. :hehe:
Well I bumped into one of the more petite and pretty girls later that day and she asked to arm wrestle me out of curiosity.
She had practically zero strength in her slender little arm and I must say that since then, though I am old enough to be her father, she has started to behave a little coquettishly with me so watch this space.
I am referring to the idea that society is ****ed. I don't disagree that truth is an important concept and that some things that shouldn't need defending, now need defending. (See vaccines for a more dangerous example).
It's just part of the ebb and flow of society. When I step back, things are better than they were when I was a young man, even if I do find myself raging at the radio more than I'd like to.
Vaccines are a classic example. Mind you, I maintain this whole thing started with Freud and his ridiculous pseudo-science that appeals to hysterics, attention-seekers and narcissists.
Now the whole concept of evidence-based reasoning is under attack and we're too weak to defend it. We are in serious danger of regressing.
