: I was a mega tomboy, too. I didn't stop until I was about 32
: or 33. My antics included running under a utility truck as
: it was pulling out of a petrol station. The PG & E guy
: working on the other side busted up as I raced on. I guess
: I didn't give the driver a heart attack, but my flatmate
: says I almost gave 'it' one when I threw myself over the
: road divider in front of the Pruneyard on Bascom in San
: Jose. (It was taller than me, and when I worked out I had
: the strength weight ration of a in shape sausage casing. I
: used to do parkour lite.)

: Destructive traditions. Circumcision, both genders. Any body
: modifications that disable you. Some they don't do anymore,
: like foot binding, some they still do, like the rings
: around the neck like the Padaung chicks or 'giraffe women'.
: I put stiletto heels in with this. My stepmother got messed
: up from wearing heals, and she wore more conservative
: heels, not those crazy 4 to 6 inchers. I also think
: spending insane amounts of money on lavish rituals is
: destructive, considering you could have spent that money on
: more practical matters. (When I was stoopid enough to get
: married to the thing I used to be married to, we went to
: the courthouse.) And right now, so is putting your money in
: the bank, considering it isn't legally yours anymore, and
: the bank can just use it for bail ins. (What little we have
: is in a credit union.) Oh, and how about eating and feeding
: your family toxic processed food on a grand scale where you
: can't pronounce half the ingredients? I'm inclined to put
: credit cards in this list, too. Again, I never had one in
: my 56 odd year life.

: I don't think one gender is smarter than the other. They seem
: inclined to use their intelligence in different ways, if
: they have any. And I wonder if that's due to programming. I
: read Japanese chicklets just as good in math as their
: untwatted counterparts. ( I wasn't really interested in the
: more abstract math in school, myself. I got C's, never got
: the hang of proofs in geometry, and never needed to know
: how to do them in my entire life. No one explained to me
: how they worked, either; not that I asked. But I did great
: in the English classes, so here I follow the stereotype.)

: Stereotypes. If a former boss didn't rescue me from working at
: a garage many years ago to go back into lettershop, I'd be
: a car mechanic now. I'm glad that didn't happen. I'd be
: making a lot more money, but what state would I be in
: physically? My back hurts just thinking about the time I
: dismantled a waterpump.

I have an opening for a dishwashwer you lovely bitch.
Stand tall.
