    1. Judy please understand I used “tell a broad you like her tits” because I was thinking of hearing guys say that to female coworkers as a young guy. It is a phrase I have never used nor like. I saw the look on the woman’s faces and could tell I did not want to cause them that look. Hugs

  1. Hi Judy. I understand and agree. Wider and wider as more norms of a civil society get erased. But why? Why is civil discourse, civil society, respecting others, being tolerant of differences suddenly not acceptable, we only need to look at tRump and the people that follow him. They said they loved that he talked like they did. In other words they wanted to be as crude and rude, as ignorant as he is and get away with it like he does. These people hated being told they couldn’t use the N word at work, and that they couldn’t insult co-workers or tell a broad they like her tits. These are people who saw the society progress without them and they felt left behind. Hugs
