But my brain Isn't [yet..]
And 'it' recalls the quite early-on dismissal of most of the BS-'lore': outright!
I mean: as presented/in the usual BS-sessions. And at some point--in the Instant it was 'imparted'.
I can't be alone in having observed the Double Standard In. Action. {{Live}} Ex:

Little Suzy lets Timmie inspect her secret parts; goes to whatever fucking-'Base' etc.
LIttle Timmie RACES --> to Tell All (+ inventions==lies) about his Conquest! immediately after zipping-up.
NOW: Little Suzy is a slut/LIttle Timmie is initiated into the Hypocrite's Club (inseparable from the Murican Club.)

And so it went.
I Saw that my compatriots (but not my cohorts) were the very-definition of Hypocrite.
(And, I imagine--that was ~~ when I also Grew Up. Warily.)

I ain't so special/there must have been Lots like me.
(Only Mike could know about ... when Mike 'Grew Up'-- right?)

I can't imagine what sort of std. Asshole I might have become, had I missed/blown-off that realization early-on.
(I may be an Asshole still, for al I know fershure--but a Different mix, at the least.)
I can be sure that: having thence decided to cut-some-slack to females next met, via Yes!-empathy for their plight--was not only Right but,
fucking-well Appreciated. call that: feedback. Y'know?
I despised the insouciant then.. as now.

My guess is that Murica produces more Assholes (especially of the Male variety) than any other country.
Whether M. belongs in that category--only He knows.

This species would be a Hoot, if so many of our proclivities weren't plumb Evil--so it Isn't 'a Hoot here'.
Die Murica. Let's see what can grow from the Death of all its Ignorance and Sanctimony, eh?
(It can't get (much) Worse, even I wot.)
