Somethings are worth the wait.

Somethings can never be.

Both experiences were worth going through.

May the rest of our lives be less complex.

by Joseph Bolden

Finally, A Bike!

There are times when what you want isn’t what you need or get so you deal with it,reacess, and move on.

Most folks learn this lesson early,a few learn it late,and then there are those for whom this lesson doesn’t come up at all.

I may have learned my lesson late but finally it is learned.

I missed the platonic girls-as-friend dynamic, had male bonding,block buddy
though no gang initiation process,saw the flash-cash-car-girl of the inner city but after I began playing craps it seemed
mama,me,and my kid brother,moved far from New York,City landing in Oakland/Berkeleley, California.

Won’t bore folks on houseless/jobless G.A. [General Assistance/Work fare blues].

A young woman struggles to save herself an others who’ve survived abuse by the hands of current,ex bf’s,husbands,or strangers.

My mental state is wary of females not feeling worthy of their attention.

Working for/with two, surrounded by many,a current lover across the bay,and one chose to be a constant friend in my life.

She's the main reason humor,sanity,shown me the emotional joy and pain love brings.

The expression of "Holding a torch"is no longer meaningless words.

"Let Go,Let God." Someone once told me,I have,hearts heal,it remembers,gains strenghth and
toughens is armored against suffering again or stays wounded unable to heal from past hurts.

Recently,had some financial set backs which prevented me from buying a bike.

I remember riding one in New York even to the point of out racing some other kids bent on taking my bike from me.

If they were bigger than me I’ve forgotten but quickly I leared how to hide and out race them through Marion Avenue,the park and all over Fordham Road.

It was tense,scary,and exsileration at the same time knowing if I could be hit by a car,truck,bus,or cut off from escaping if those who are chasing me trapped and found me!

Fortunately is was maybe 9 or 10am,warm summer and I had light shirt on and was able to pump my peddles for all with its worth and made it home safe.

I never saw those kids again but always kept a wary eye out from then on. Not riding a bike in over a decade also can make one rusty and scared to try it out again.

But its time and just wnen I though I’d never ride a bike again someone gave me another chance for less than $50 bucks!

Washing my clothes, ready to buy cheese for a rice and chicken meal.

Maybe, I wasn’t meant to by the artery clogging cheese!

In City College the swimming and body building classes had to let go because of reccent job loss
and housing problem now I have a bike and may not have a place to store it.

Having the bike proves its time to ride,just as I had let go of a torch to keep a sacred friendship I was given a second chance at Bicycling.

There never was a first chance for me of the first but life continues and one moves on.

What’s needed is a helmet with rear mirror, lights,clips for pants, bike gloves,chain & locks, kickstand,also water, air pump,and finally to join a little biking exercise called "Critical Mass"

I maybe way behind of the pack but will be riding again and moving
on is what counts.
Any comments,especially frugal bike clubs,associations that I can join or would have me please email me at poormagazine.org or jsph_bldn@yahoo.com.

Murals & Orgasms - 5/10/08

The title to entice.

Real Knowledge worth knowing.

Carnal Knowledge is...

Art/Science,Endlessly Fascinating.

While Politics leaves me cold.

Warm Human keeps me aware and heated.

by Joseph Bolden

Murals And Orgasms.

The S.F. Print Collective and The Coalition On Homelessness

are the folks inviting me to this gig.

Today from 12-4 pm between 17th+18th Streets and Mission and Valencia

"We Are All San Franciscan’s": Mural Unveiling.

I was relearning to swim and body building at the time so my name is nowhere on the wall.

I was also in Atlanta and later Hawaii with family and friends.



I’ll get right to it, which is the first thing that’s wrong.

One must never rush onto or into one it’s a delicate balance of body,mind, spirit,and soul.

Even minus love it
sex
is still
beautiful when care, desire,and respect are evenly matched.

Murals is ancient old art form.[I don’t know how old it is you[look it up].

Its so ephemeral [look that up too].

(This interactive enough for you)?

Murals can take years to make but painted over, torn down in seconds after being created.

An Orgasm,usually thought of as a woman’s sexual mental/physical,all out quiet to noisy,to brain/body numbing ecstasy.

Men have ‘em too only its not as invisible as women’s are though men can feel surges of warmth to hot boiling heat as women begin to feel pleasure mount.

For the first few years post first coitus I had no idea who,what,when,where,or how long it took for any women's sexual arousal time
began or ends.

all of you fem's vary slightly,each unique from each other;ahh,variety spice-a life Got that guys?

Same advice for Women all men aren't the same,similar package tho our interior drives vary.

In time patience,humor,listening, and plain luck taught the lessons until...

They wordlessly told me by their heat and actions how I was fairing.

If she's not gettin' off
its no fun for me.

That’s when one holds on until she,thrashing about,cursing,screaming, grabbing at your head demands for us to stay on point until she’s… completely “over the the mountain,flying,or otherwise in bliss mode.

Trouble its most guys think warm as hot,let go which really piss women off when actually women are just starting.

And like a surfer must ride the wave both mutually created until both have had a good to great ride.

Together supposedly the ideal however if women get off first that’s deemed the best.

Better to have her floating in her bliss than trying balanced Wow act much easier for most men to achieve.

If men get off first without satisfying the woman he may never be given a second chance or thought afterward.

Always better to err in the woman’s favor chances are other chances will occur.

Sneaky how I’ve weave political stuff into this but next month June 3, Proposition 98 (Ending Rent Control in San Francisco)

That’s what its about from developers who’ve used eminent domain to take property from owners and renters taken over by private sector.

Worded as something who’s time has come and that it won’t hurt just be a small hicup.

Let me tell you losing your housing whether it’s a shelter,transitional, or if you’ve made enough to buy your home.

Prop. 98 will create more houseless folk, some of you with homes will become dispossessed of your homes.

Read Prop. 99 [Yes, people look it up,read carefully] and stay to vote on June 3rd don’t pull our before feeling a flush of sun on your face.

Stay until your whole body is burning…

Only then will you know how much better you’ve done.

I’m such a tease but would you really read my work if I talked in straight politilese?
I didn’t think
so.

Rarely I write Political guff.

A friend says "Person is Political.

Probably true,it will not make me any
less apolitical.

by Joseph Bolden

Early Trick On Voters

It is I,the apolitical guy formally of Poor Magazine/PNN and a certain radio show in Berkeley.

Po' Poet plus sometime spoken word artist and have been known to try stand-up comedy too.

I've talked to my mother,friends,and worry about a few besides the housing I may lose partly do to me and the way stuff are stack where organizations don't speak to each other but has the slub in the middle as go between.

June 3rd Tuesday,yeah, the Consolidated,Statewide Direct Primary Election City and County of San Francisco.

Poles will be open from 7am. To 8pm.

Its really underhanded sneaky the way the powers that are have set this crud up.

Its so most of us voters won't be thinking about voting only of partying, boys/girls,men/women, men/men or women/women the whole of San Francisco in good time mode no thoughts of anything ominous looming until November.

Wrong fellow citizens of this so called republic of democracy.

I don't know where to begin so here goes.



1.3 New Power Plants or Not
Up to you folks.


2.Prop. E On Pet Projects is it Yay or Nay

on the Board of Supervisors rasing rates.

Check www.Don'tRaiseOurRates.com.



3.Next S.F. Judge. Is it Thomas Mellon, Jr.

or Mr. Geraldo Sandoval.

S.F. Voters do your stuff.


4.Prop. A. For S.F. Schools.

Seismic Safety,

Disability Access,
Updated Computer Labs,
New School Bathrooms.

Again all on us to vote yes or no.


5. Prop.G/Prop.F About clean up of The Hunter's Point Shipyard.

All I know is its been 20 years and the place is still a mess,all kinds of
carcinogens and other types deadly critters.

It is a chemical cancer death trap!



6. Last is what I call; a sly,underhanded,though legal? slick,sneaky trick.

Having a primary this early with another in November.

This by Developers, Speculators,Multi Corp business types plus both suspecting and unsuspecting homeowners.

Going through private housing issues as I write this its difficult not to gag.

Prop 98 which uses Eminent Domain (though is says limits on Government Authority)

Have You Folks Seen Limits On Our Freedoms being broadened and not taken away?

Homeland Insecurty tapped phones,even tried to get librarians see what were reading!

Is that still happening?

Looks to me that 98 will cause mass houseless-ness for everyone with or without homes and if homeowner believe their safe.

Wait til' your Government wants your land,house(s) moved for high end profit making.

Its no longer stealing land now its

Eminent Domain.

Inflated or Balloon payments tent to cause your home to fall into foreclosure proceedings.

While Prop. 99 Sets Limits on Government Acquisition of Owner-Occupied Residence.

All the above is an Initiative Constitutional Amendment

That's it for me,soon as I'm finished writing this column I'll be mailing my vote today or Monday.

After reading up on it a bit.

So read,think,before you vote on June 3,2008.

Remember why they rushed the primary so early

(Not wanting lots of us to vote and end up losing shelters,transitional housing,or homes some of us own.)

The Republic of Democracy has gone crazy and its up to all of us to do a reboot-rid ourselves multi corp 21st century Robber Barons or living spaces everywhere are up for grabs when ever they want.


Write Poor Magazine.org or jsph_bldn@yahoo.com for any comments.

Besides the errors in the writing that's minor compared what's about to down on Tues. June 3, 2008!

Wymyn/Men Social Contract

09/24/2021 - 10:42 by Anonymous (not verified)

Original Body

Equality Tilts For Wymyn.

As long as so called social

norms are skewered in "weaker?"corner.

Let create Social Contract.

So at least both sexes suffer equally.

by Joseph Bolden

Wymyn/Men’s Social Contract

Ever hear of a book entitled:Why Men Earn More?

No,haven’t read it but might after this column is done.

I heard on a radio show from a man and woman that statistics can be

reconfigured to fit anyones analysis at the time.

Wymyn always bring up economic disparity,glass ceiling text book argument mean while a few male friendly websites and organizations.

From what I know is more males are dropping out of high school,less going to college,universities,and headed into prison.

As for women they make up most of the new small business created and entering,graduating from colleges and universities.

I said once to a female pal once “How come there’s no men-get-in-free and free drinks in club bars?”

“Because bar owners wouldn’t make money,bring women free and men follow.” Or words to that effect.

“We didn’t make the rules” she added.

“But you take advantage of the social set up.” I said.

As for the 'Why Men Earn More book [You look up author]

Men take the most dangerous jobs,go to wars recently women have too,and our testosterone tends to have us do
stupid daredevil stuff like skateboarding,drink too much and commit suicide with guns rather than with pills-alcohol,drugs as women do which saves some from the act.

Plus betrayal of the bumbling,fumbling,male in tv commercials.

As for Battered women’s syndrome Battered Men isn’t seen as real even though statistics have risen steady.

Also if laws are closely examined their is a built in bias against males in favor of women.

Women have more choices from having a career, motherhood,going back to the work force.

Few Single or rare Nuclear families with fathers at home are given
choices to leave work for paternity leave though that is slowly changing.

Of course the sport analogy of boxing still holds.

Two equally matched fighters in ability, strength,experience face each other in the ring.

No matter the equal footing if male beats woman fairly he loses in society for beating up a girl.
notice how the woman is reduced to girl.
Yet when she beats the male in the arena she’s haled,held up as proof of superiority over all men not just a contest of athletic prowess.

Yes,some women think and project that way like men.

Think Bobby Riggs and
Billy Jean King

Mismatch of the century with older experienced tennis pro Bobby Riggs and younger experienced Billy Jean King.

Bobby bragged being a womanizer of beating the "little girl"

His testosterone got the better of him,it really wasn't a fair match between equals.

So much was place on which sex was better.

Bobby lost Billy won.

Billy went on to found a magazine,get endorsements while Billy who'd been through that faded out of the public eye.

I wish today's tennis champs men and women truly of equal caliber had a match what would happen.

I’ve seen women hit men in public, been playfully hit in public myself for looking at other women when with on a date.

Men do that so do women, women are less obvious about it.

Women know they can go off (act out,do and say crazy things in public and get away with but for men it isn’t tolerated.)

Don't shake your heads ladies you know its true.

All you need do is check out
[Ball Busting video or movies of women getting their jollies out of hurting men’s floaters Even if it is only an actresses talking there is a note of glee, joy,maniacal fun the way the main one says
“Come On,I Dare You.”

By the way I commend the actress she gets the point across clearly.

I'll probably not ever see her in real life since I'm a bit of a marred frog with a lazy left eye.

I give all women respect that avoids getting my nut sack racked in pain.

About approaching women inappropriately by touch,talk, or even the too long ogle or stare.

No guy should be mistreated unless you really act or are a jerk.
Women we now know will go there,aim for our tender testes if we are dumb sticks in our so called superiority.


Its all about humiliating pain and as for the idiotic guys who are paid for hits to their groin.

There will never be enough money to place my family jewels in such a precarious predicament.

Placing my junk in harms way!

Some things are not worth the humiliation let alone some "accidental” permanent damage inflicted.

Though some guys will do anything for money.

The Social Contract is broken,bent,twisted,not worth seeking if has tilted all the way to one side even if it works for the so called suffering side.

Now men are victims but we’ve been raised to be strong,silent,and if we say enough!

Wimp,wuss,chicken,or worse names starting with C or P will be called out.

I for one have seen the other side of the curtain.

Socially men and women aren't living up to our social contracts.

So I’m opting out of the masculine straight jacket we,society has put us in that may make me a slight loner outlaw of sorts. [Imagine me,non drinker/drug/non sexist- racist,religious zealot -homophobic guy out of step because have I have the balls to refuse following a social norm that women have found ways to use while still calling themselves oppressed & superior simultaneously.]

You’ve tried awfully hard over the decades but you cannot have it both ways


of being downtrodden and have small businesses,be more educated than ever as men fall behind.

If that's your victory over males then its just as unequal and you've lost the very purpose of equality.

Women! Why aren’t you voting for Ms. Hillary Clinton or placing more women drowning men with candidates?

Want to gain power! Use your numbers,money, that so called superior emotional/ intellectual IQ and experience.

Use that cell phone for important stuff than getting out of the odd awkward blind date.

Use the freakin’ technology,infrastructure at hand.

Unless,when it really comes down to you'd rather sit back and let your beloved,son’s,brother’s, uncle’s,hubby’s,fathers.

I mean the good men; you all know there are many more than you let on continue to die!

You know what you have to do!
Take it from men,then recreate a true and equal contract only then can you say we are the superior species.
Hey, I’m just a testosterone driven guy raised by a strong black woman with lessons taught from a few strong,courageous younger rainbow women. What do I know?

A Picnic

Great mini trip.

Must do more of this.

Save like crazy and go!

by Joseph Bolden

A Picnic

Recently I was at a picnic for CHP[Community Housing Partnership] in gorgeous,lush greenery of the Little Hills Ranch in San Ramon.

Its a breezy Saturday morning.

It is one of those “Y’all Come"deal.

As people and organizations gathered to have fun,play games, and talk strategic politics.

The latter though a turn off for me is like glazed ham with all the fixing’s for those of that bent.

Really it played so little part that day.

Other organizations are designated colored bands on our wrists.

Yellow for C.H.P.,Green- Girl Scouts Of America,I think.

Forget what Red is for and there may have been other colors too.

In early fall I had relearned how to swim properly and body build correctly hat’s what I was my main reason because I’ve missed a few days of both but swimming was given at a picnic or so I hoped.

The bus trip is short.

A neighbor had given me a cheese and bologna sandwich.

I took cold water from home as a precaution against dehydration.

No worries about that with a pool,tents,food,and concession.

After some announcements,tug of war game I hurry into the men’s bathroom changing from street clothes to swim trunks.

It’s faded from chlorine from another pool but works for me.

I really wished my lady friend and mother had come also.

I invited both not by quickie,email but old fashioned face to face.

Mama’s taking a driving test,Ms. L. Bean’s collects a Graduate Degree.

Bean is cute, politically active, socially consciousness young woman with a curvy, shapely,hour glass figure I’ve told her she'd look great in a fish net or mesh bathing suit.

In a one piece less revealing outfit Ms. Bean would look just as spectacular!

Oh,well also said I’d have six pack abs by that time.

That didn’t plan out either.

The Garden Party song came to mind by Rick Nelson.
You see,ya can't please everyone

So ya got to Please yourself.

I’ll keep working on them and other body parts all summer just to see how clear and dense it can be since nearly nothing better to do.

Some bad table tennis, long food lines,short ice cream and soda lines it was a good fun day.

Yes,there were children that wined,cried,but most of the tots enjoyed themselves with or away from adults.

I didn’t ride a horse, or hike swimming was at the top of my list.

Bingo played I avoided that by getting ice cream.

Proudly I didn’t have two helpings of food.

By the time the bus arrives to take us home,I don’t waddle aboard with extra carry on food.

The trip home seems faster,by the time I home all I could do was watch a little TV before going to sleep in my own comfortable bed.

But it was a great outing.

Landlords Land Grab.

Protest/Rally Oh My!

This Is A Test.

We Better Not Fail This One!

by Joseph Bolden

No Rent Control = City/State Chaos

Chaos,all things in flux, no control,it’s a messed up situation.

Today all S.R.O.’s (single resident occupancyare at a protest/rally outside on the steps of City Hall in San Francisco.

Tenants from s.r.o.’s, transitional housing from all over the city have gathered to protest Proposition 98.

Prop.98 is state wide in scope using eminent domain as a way to take living space from renter’s on low to fixed incomes.

Proposed by wealthy landlords for the dismantling of rent control for the whole state of California.

If it passes on June 3, 2008,most struggling working folks, single or families will be lose their housing through inflated high rents.

It will not stop like an updated Ellis Act Look it up of the 90’s it too will use any excuse to raise rent,demolish current housing stock only to refurbished or make new housing with increased rental prices.

The process continues from low income subsidized housing to an already decimated middle class, which is the gateway to homeownership.

As I speak the rally continues with PNN, KPIX, other media outlets are there showing the seriousness of next months vote in June.

Going through my own mini housing crisis only makes the problem profoundly worse.

If I lose housing there are organizations I’m tapped into to help me but if prop. 98 passes…

Many no knowing or having any support systems will be thrown into house-less hell.

This the C H A O S of which I speak,All San Franciscan’s plus the whole state will have no thrown into a dark,bleak,abyss if 98 is passed!

We can prevent this by VOTING NO ON 98
let’s have our own People’s Law stating
to never have this any other legally crookedly written proposition,bill,or law set against any of us because of a lack of funds.

Help Krip Hop publicize the latest documentaries about disabled artists all over the world.

by Leroy Moore/PNN

I found out three years ago that history is long and deep when I came across a 1943 book entitled The Black Cripple by Richard Keverne. As most of my readers and listeners know, I wrote a poem in 1992 called The Black Kripple and now use this as my radio dj name as well.

I knew when I came up with the idea of having a radio series on Hip-Hop artists with disabilities called Krip-Hop three years ago that there were many musicians with disabilities all over the world and my idea wasn't new. But what I didn’t know when I started this project was how our music (musicians with disabilities) was about to explode and become a major force nationally and internationally on alternative radio stations, in books and now on the big screen.

As a researcher\journalist in the area of race, disability and music, I'm hyped to see new crop of documentaries about musicians with disabilities who are not the Ray Charleses or Stevie Wonders of the world. This new crop of documentaries is about disabled musicians, who are in the struggle everyday. These documentaries that I'm about to mention are from all over the world from Staff Benda Bilili in the Congo (check out the interview on www.poormagazine.org) and Liyana in Zimbabwe to Heavy Load of the UK, the upcoming Half a Soulja and 4Wheel City of New York and H.U.S.H. from my hometown in CT, just name a few. These musicians cover a whole range of music from Rumba-blues. tribal-salsa, world music to Punk to Hip-Hop.

The Krip-Hop Project will have a panel at the Hip-Hop Journalism Association conference in New York in October to discuss these upcoming Hip-Hop documentaries staring real disabled Hip-Hop artists. Because of all of these new documentaries, the Krip-Hop Project is on a mission to get as much press as possible behind this amazing work through printed interviews and radio play and on websites like www.krip-hop.com, www.poormagazine.org,
www.hhja.org and more.

So please let’s get these documentaries in the public eye. If you
have a press packet, or can offer a sample of your documentary to be played on my radio show or any other radio show that I have contact with, or pictures or CDs of the sound track, please send them to me by mail or email at

What Do Some Women Want?

They Don't Really Want an= Footing.

Enough Of This Rigged Game.

by Joseph Bolden

Hidden Male Discrimination

This is just blowin’ off steam about our not so hidden discrimination.
From the cell phone-call me-gf/bf on dates to endearing one way tomboy
between time of girls and clothes.

1. Why go on dates with mobile in hand unless its used for extreme job related emergencies not merely as (ditch guy thing) its used on guys more then women and you know it Grrrls.


2. Notice how its cute for girls to be tomboys but not a girly-boy.


3. As for clothes yes women pay more but in defense they by the clothes sold by mostly male designers while men are straight jacketed into basic man-suit shirt,panes,tie,shorts, under/over shirts,and socks.

If a few men do break out its deemed sort of off.

Like Mumble’s the dancing Penguin in Happy Feet until his unique abilities save his people.

All I’m saying is all things being equal which they aren’t women have more choices than men but as men begin to balk,
as men take their blinders off, ignore the female equation, realize just as some women love saying men are no longer needed its an equal quote for men.

Sure women give birth they also can take life away.

Why are men the best chefs because most women have abdicated that post.

Suddenly we find men are great nurturer’s when given a chance.

Well,women are being all they can be but let the same be of men and women begin to freak big time.

How come men cannot where women’s clothes but women can wear men’s there is a fundamental unfairness to the sexes.

The truism I want to personally change is that of married guys living longer than single men.

Women If widowed women and single ladies enjoy being single with less hassles from men then let men be themselves.

Without pressure to marry,reproduce,let us live our lives,love whom we want as you have.

Or is it like the Marriage union of man and woman married couples feel the institution is threatened or weakened by same sex life long unions?

I believe its no longer a joke that marriage same sex couples may be a stronger bond,

really show what love means beyond the traditional concept.

This delay tactic is “FEAR OF A STRONGER UNION” of same sex than traditional.

If traditional male/fem marriage is so strong put it to a test give same sex a twenty year test legitimately see how it works in reality.

I believe traditionalists are showing their fear of change that maybe the institution needs an amendment to prop up a dying system.

For bachelors as myself the only way to beat this married men live longer statistic is to actively take charge of our lives.

If that means drinking, smoking,less,or no drugs then we do it.

It may mean not following by rote but take notes from T. Lycos or listening to Love Line.

Face it guys,women do have alternate emotive built ways of seeing men; be a mean jerk they go after you.

Be quiet,sensitive,no play from ‘em.

However a third choice is to me no woman’s doormat,be your own unique self,captain your soul,
treat women equally no favorites and have as many as you want but tell 'em no strings or commitment.

If they agree – good if not move on and if they decide to flip the scipt change the game – you move on.

Women have always had the Veto the main thing all of them are not the same. What’s that movie “Wizard” where the main character says
“One dream beats a thousand realities.”

What’s really said in any place where people gather socially you may hear 1000 ‘no’s you don’t think of them the one “yes” you hear and concentrate on the yes’s.

We men must take care of our own health women have learned that so should we.

We’re really unselfish when it comes to women wanting to please them, love them,and provide for
but they lets face it guys they are more practiced in the arts of survival than we had to be.

We use our strength, power,will to subjugate bend nature,people,to our will but that no longer applies we need to be as subtle,supple,cunning,and wily as
women have mastered the art of seeing women not as objects, trophies,or scores but as an opponent if not enemy and also drop this competition.

Why? It boosts their ego,lowers ours and until two boxers,wrestlers, or mixed sex football, baseball, basketball,soccer,bowling, golf,you name it as there’s a stigma to

“Beating a girl(s) /woman(en) men will never have a fair deal.

Question: If a man normally 4x as strong as the average woman is challenged by a woman who has been bodybuilding five or more years who will win the contest the man or woman?

Answer: If you said the man. You’d be wrong
because normally men would be stronger but against a bodybuilding woman with five plus years of training experience will win the contest.

I know because years ago that challenge was up to me by a female training me to challenge a body building woman who had two years training ahead of me.

I wouldn’t be baited and explained “She has two years experience of course she’s stronger than I am.”

I had used logic in place of emotional pride.
I believe when women challenge men sometimes its fun when they challenge us but more and more its not a game.

Many times women have trained to not only to win but to beat and humiliate also and for what to prove superiority in male dominated fields.

We should wake up,take care of ourselves and live longer with or without women who love shatter our so called fragile ego’s

Men are so resilient if we weren’t women wouldn’t still be so hot to beat us,shame us,at every turn.

The best thing to do when women go ape shit is

leave 'em alone to act out what ever is eating them and not using it as an excuse to bash men.

One more thing,women are allowed to act crazy in public.

I’ve seen it on St. Anthony’s or Glide Memorial food lines.

There talking to themselves or screaming at a mate or some stranger and they know they can get away with it.

Let any male go bonkers and he’s in a police van on his way to jail.

Why is it that we tolerate women’s psychosis, anger,loud,lewd,behavior but not men’s?

The sugar spice thing is gone women have revealed themselves to be just as vindictive,mean,nasty, sexually driven as men even it they do have more subtle ways of going about it.

That’s what I was thinking about today before leaving the city for while.
