8. Valentine’s coming up


7. Just an idea how to categorise the fairer sex

You have your own way but might I suggest, from my working life which involved a heavy overdose of the female of our species … well it’s like this … I had to put some policies in personal place to stave off further danger and salvage that which had survived.

First step, which was so obvious, observing the leches on TV, the sleazy innuendo asiders, worse as they got older and less capable of pulling birds themselves … was that sleaziness is the n1 turnoff in dealing with any age range among the fairer bunch … one just has to expunge it from all conversation, all facial expressions … no exceptions. Let her make any major moves.

Second is something one can’t do oneself because they can tell immediately … and that is if you care, if you genuinely like the humans inside the pretty shells … you can’t fake that. If you do care and they know it, sometimes our species can make a criticism, carefully … and get away with it. Sometimes.

Third is a division in our minds which has been greatly helped in recent years by the crystalising of the terms Woke and Karen … so much easier to define these days, and people know what you mean. Thus … one avoids the Wokerati like the plague, the Karens, plus the male equivalent. One is still civil, still opens doors or walks on the outside of the footpath but overall … cross the street to avoid. Never engage in battle … ignore.

Problem with that … is this:


Easy for me to say about him … bleedin’ idiot, just ignore it … but she’s his mom … I feel heartstrings stressing here … it’s a sad thing to have such a politically/morally retarded son … mothers’ bane since time immemorial.

Having got beyond that point, the fourth decision is over the females within your “acceptable” range you’re prepared to engage with and who seem to like you. It does not matter how much you’d like, you want … that’s irrelevant … the female gets the last say yea or nay. End of, ok?

The fifth decision is further categorising. This is particularly relevant to soc-med, which is a great leveller. Look, not all opinions are equally informed, equally steeped in realpolitik and experience, esp. among the young newbies on the net … but of course you can never tell them that.

In my case, I find it easier, day to day, to think of three groupings among the “good gals” 5 to 95 … daughter type (or potential student in the class you teach) … mother type with that major experience behind her and in that middling range, taking care of most of the running of day to day things, multitasking etc. … then the grandmother type or let’s say the grand-dame, the queenly type, due great respect.

Deryl is one of that last type, Kate Hoey … these ladies have seen it all, their opinions really must be read and noted. The middle, mother type are also due respect … sometimes they get a bit iffy, one right now on X is too potty-mouthed for mine … we still follow each other though and there you are … her ideas are basically sound, very “reformy”.

And then the tricky ones … the younger set such as Sophia, Tessa, a few others I engage with … one must cut daughter types slack, not try to instruct them, just put the occasional observation, keep right off any iffy topic anywhere near them … just play it straight with them. Who cares if they have typos, grammatical this and that … it must always be done gently, something I learnt from my working life as it was.

Rather, anything good they come out with shows a thinking brain:


For such young ladies, it’s far more important, in us, how one conducts oneself … they see and note it … and that includes how we go for the jugular and take apart the Starmers and Sinemas, the Schiffs … no sting in your tail and you’re just milquetoast in US parlance.

Finally:

How we act online, it seems to me, is pretty vital, esp. among allies and potential allies, up and coming, plus our job is to spread the idea that we’re not alone, there are others from various western countries who have our back, give or take some minor disagreements.

6. Two topics I post a fair bit on

… which I’d hazard a guess are not among your faves I put out (at least among our majority) … are Christian heritage and Women … so here’s one on the former and 7 is on the latter.



5. Wondering if this was for real
