Men + Fucking Women

no woman wants to hear about another woman's beauty

we get defensive reflexively

whether acting or otherwise

overt male sexuality, when blanketed generally is offensive to all women

a woman wants the singular attention of a man, anything else is not tolerated

We're Starting the Show

they worry about sharing in the revenue, not in terms of actual dollars

Riding on Their Success

"Oddly, Howe seems to have had no interest in the man who led the army aligned against him. In all that he and others of the British command wrote at the time, officially and privately, George Washington was rarely ever mentioned except in passing. There was no apparent consideration of what manner of man he was, what his state of mind, his strengths and weaknesses, might be. Or what he might be up to, given the working of his mind. Perhaps this was indifference, perhaps the measure of an overreaching sense of superiority.

Washington, by contrast was constantly trying to fathom Howe's intentions, his next move.

Strange it was that the British commander-in-chief, known for his chronic gambling, seemed to give no thought to how his American opponent might play his hand."
