Hellish if you imagine yourself as one of the animals.

I like the bizarro social context expression. It's a great way to describe how I work with female programmers and both my project managers are female and nothing like the described…

I don't think you should be down-voted. I find your thinking process fascinating .

It's just how the US is. I was watching a very violent move, late at night, on a cable channel. All kinds of violence - no problem. Suddenly an inured woman is being given first ai…
