Who’s realistic?

A typical Spokane News item with comments illustrating a basic difference. Women understand how people work. Men don’t understand. We have romantic ideas or political ideas, not realism.

First the news item, then the women, then the men.

Facts: Men will take all sorts of shit to get sex. Women will take all sorts of shit to get status.

Back in the ’70s I saw these facts everywhere, in my own life, in people I knew, and in the motels where I worked. I refused to accept the facts as standard human behavior. Like one of the men above, I saw such people as crazy.
