“Life is what happens while you are busily making other plans” is a famous John Lennon quote that has been accompanying me my entire life since a crush of mine wrote it on my signature ball that I had sitting in my room.

You all by now know how critical of feminism I have become over the years. I have written about this multiple times. This August, women hit a new low. So many women are defending Lindsay Clancy in such a weird and deranged way that not just me, but a lot of highly educated, well spoken, rational and intelligent men are noticing as well. Loudly.
