I hate to say or admit it... But I now have started feeling the same way about anything considered Racist! Not to mention that it seems as if a new definition of racist exists and our youth or liberals throw it out at everything!

To explain, I've spent all of my life in an extremely diverse town (near small city sized). This was never a thought or concern and I've often felt racism was all but gone!

A few experiences working in Pittsburgh proved I just lived in an extremely diverse area of Pennsylvania.

With the media preferences changing to anything other than Caucasian. BLM (with rules you can say any other life matters). The riots, protests, reparations and anti-conservative racism claims... I feel that since 2008 created new altered racial tensions!

The world has become divided more than I've ever seen!

All we have to do when anyone says "racist," is to correct it to "exploitation."

Trayvon's parents are disgusting human beings. So is that lawyer who, for some reason, still has his law license. This is Hilary Clinton and Obama risidual product. They have conned many people. How do we un-Con?

"...They might as well have lots of traffic accidents and then giggle as they fix their makeup afterwards “oh, thilly me, I’m just a woman, what do you expect?”

Are there any scientific studies as to why women Are or Perceived to Be bad operators of motor vehicles? I am not saying it is not "a well accepted fact." Even I would rather be the driver in a car with women passengers. Once I was a passenger while the woman driving was talking to her daughter on speaker phone, she didn't turn where she was suppose to, she stayed in the middle lane driving under the speed limit up the 3 laned Blvd. and knew she had to turn around and head back when she hung up the phone. The daughter she was talking to uses GPS to drive to work and the grocery store! She has young children. This is just scary...

Now, I just got off the phone with a gentleman that I had gone into great detail how I wanted him to do a small commercial project. He has laid tile in part of the room while still "screwing around" with floor prep (pardon, but this is the man/woman thing to a "T" for me). I told him I am as "mad" as when my husband installed an undercounter light using two screws and duct tape in our kitchen. I yanked the light out. My husband was furious because I bent the light fixture. I told him he was lucky I didn't wrap the light fixture around his neck!

Male cheerleaders throwing women in the air is unfair to men. I can think of nothing more than severe neck arthritus in their futures, not to mention the liability of potentially dropping someone. If some men have moved on from sexual attraction to female cheerleaders to being the "girls in the bleachers" wanting to Be the cheerleader then our society has been more destroyed than I wish to think possible.

Keep in mind I am talking about stereotypes here. Transvestite men seem to pick up on the worst stereotypes, exaggerate them, and behave like that. It isn't that I perceive women to be generally bad drivers, but that it is a stereotype like the others (the liittle girl lisp, for instance) that transvestites pick up on to create the illusion of femininity.

Another, though I don't think "stereotype" is the right word, is the way many of these men style themselves. They wear clothing that is either overtly provocative, as prostitutes wear, or vintage dowdy, like Victorian ghosts.

I didn't do a good job with my comment. I was trying to convey how discounted men's enviable ability to focus has been dangerously discounted. When my husband "taped in" the light fixture, his focus was to get the thing installed so he could go play golf. And being of the "XX" type, I have the ability to chuckle about it to this day!

IMHO, the "transvestite" still has the hyper-focus to odd mixes of things that will never allow them to appear women-like to me. Just as Racquel Welch immediately recogniized that Mae West was not a woman.

However, there must be some reason there are very few successful women race car drivers...I would be Very bad at it.

And, Kristi Noem having her purse stolen, while holding the position she has, had me "rolling my eyes."

With utmost caution and no intent to offend readers, I'll note this tiny sample observation: The women I know all navigate by landmarks. Most men I know navigate based on cardinal directions and a sense of which direction is north. The second method seems to work better. I am sure there are exceptions on both sides of this, but of the people I know personally, this is how it seems to work.

Years ago my son was terrified to be in a car with his female, high school, friend driving. My son (in middle school at the time) was too young to have a driver's license. His friend was an Unser. Some might say that sounds familiar...lol I guess X/X chromosomes have a lot to say even with the dna factor.
