Maybe the battle of the sexes will never end. Maybe if it does, it will be like Vietnam or Afghanistan. With a WTF?
My complaint has always been that the only winners seem to be the ones who act the most like the aggressors. Women who wear pants suits, and men who are the most passive aggressive win (in an odd way).

During the shutdown, I have become a habituee of Turner Classic Movies. The evidence is that we haven’t changed in centuries. That’s carrying conservatism too far. That’s expecting too much from genuflection before the tried-and-not-so-true.
