WOMEN: Clearly, not a fan

If you are a woman, odds are I detest you. In the 1920s, the women of the world took a backseat to men. Women were taught to be respectful, meek and reserved; as a lady then a wife.

In 2016, in the 208 area code, that is not the case. Now women demand respect. They have power, but they use it as leverage against the weak (men and women). They put themselves on pedestals and [they] can’t talk to a male stranger because of stranger danger, but if a man is popular then she will bend over backwards to be his friend, or more. Towards other women they treat life as a competition.

It’s not prudent to be nice to a larger/ugly lady, because that would decrease the value of her personal stock. Coeur d’Alene’s women are shallow, uneducated, clannish and care more about their phones than they do for those around them.

If you are a female reading this, please don’t bother stewing up a blistering retort. In the end you will only prove my point, and you will most definitely not handle the situation like your great-grandmothers before you, women of this world who deserve respect.

For those of you who say: What about the gents? That’s another tirade in which I doubt Mr. Patrick’s band of brothers will help in giving me the space to write.
