Fast Fast FASTER

Details, details. I feel like I'm running a race - my auntie is going to see my house for probably the first and last time tomorrow, and there is nothing better than that perspective to realize you've got CRAP on every horizontal surface.

Almost done, but I've had to devote days worth of hours to it the last week.

It's true that men are far more likely than women to be sexual predators. But our society, while declining to profile by race or nationality when it comes to crime and terrorism, has become nonchalant about profiling men. Child advocates are advising parents never to hire male babysitters. Airlines are placing unaccompanied minors with female passengers.

Child-welfare groups say these precautions minimize risks. But men's rights activists argue that our societal focus on "bad guys" has led to an overconfidence in women. (Children who die of physical abuse are more often victims of female perpetrators, usually mothers, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.)

Thank you. It's not my imagination.

(Ghad. For every dumb, mean, AWFUL thing that's done to women - and we know it's being done, whether we can actually STOP it or not - there's something like this lurking in the background being done to men. And *shrug.* Men are scum. What can you do. WRONG WAY CORRIGAN.)

That bit about the billboard of a man holding a girl's hand makes my blood boil. I always held hands with my dad my uncle, my grandparents. I sat in their laps until I was in high school. My sister sat in my uncle's lap at her graduation party. Nobody thought it was weird.

One of my bros is a computer geek at a junior college. He fixes them. The school asked for volunteers to go somewhere and read to children. He did this one time and was made to feel evil. He's past 40 and has never married so he must be a predator. He's also a very large person. He would never hurt anyone. He has one of those voices that carries to every corner of a huge room without being too loud, so he is an excellent choice for public reading and speaking. As revenge for being treated like a pervert, after he read the story, he told the children he fixed computers for a living and would answer all questions. He answered questions for 2 hours.

There's a monster in all of us. We don't let it out.
