"You know, the type." -- no comma needed.

I have been crackin' up throughout this, but this? AaaaaHAHAHAHAHA!
"He is a dick. She is a dickless. I know some of you will think this is a sexist label. Honestly, I have considered the issue for hours and don't see any way around it. "

"In fairness, if a fellow is labeled a dick. We need to allow him to have some say in the matter." -- should be one sentence (and no -- I am not being a dickless. ROFL)

If this doesn't win...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!***********************!!!

I understand your rant. I had assumed the female version of such a person was a bitch. Dick has only been used since the 60's to mean a rude implorable guy. Although, it's been used to refer to the body part since 1880. Before the 60's, those guy's were refered to as S.O.B's which also insults the mother at the same time. Since you've coined a new word for us unpleasant females, maybe you can get it added to the dictionary. It couldn't be used to refer to a trans female however so that might be a problem. Appropriate choice of pictures. lol

I was going to ask what in the world your picture of Lash Larue-type cowboy scenery had to do with the subject matter ... until I had a closer look. Now I'm thinking there should be an adult category for pictures! Of course, then you could ask me what I mean and when I explain myself, you could follow with, "Whatever are you talking about? I don't see that? You must have a fixation!" Anyway, don't deny it. It's there. I suppose there are a lot of dicks in the world and it's probably the smaller ones who are causing most of the problems. This is a clever post, Terry. You and I are probably the only two people wearing masks in the supermarket. If your prices are accurate, I'm staying in California!

    They are accurate, the cereal was some organic granola, that I did not know was that expensive.

Lol! Enjoyed your rant, Terry! And I'm so proud of you for wearing your mask as I do in the stores and church, too. I think hubby and I are the only ones. But we get stares in the grocery store. Sigh. But it's better to be safe because Covid has not gone away. Every month, I learn of a new case among my own relatives and friends!

I liked your gender-specific names. I'm shocked at the prices of your foods there! Of course, it's not cheap here either. But we stopped buying cereal and that saves a lot. I just get protein bars to avoid the sugar and the GMO grains.

I'm glad you went to Amazon for sizing. If you had gone to Starbuck's (I don't go there anymore) the "Tall" would be small like me.

I'm sure this will do well in the contest! So glad you entered it!

Some days, it seems like there's more of them than us, but that's not true. Most people are polite most of the time, and that outweighs the others. I tend to ignore them, or make some polite remark to heap coals on their heads. hahahaha.

I believe Tom Brady has retired--again, maybe. For someone who's retired from writing, you're writing a lot. Like Columbo coming back with "Oh, just one more thing." Great thoughts in this. You give some good examples of dickish behavior. Your examples from the supermarket really help you make your point. I don't spend that much time worrying about their behavior myself, although I've seen it. I wouldn't want to evaluate the size of their dickishness, either. Love your response about wearing a mask in the store. I agree women can also be guilty of such behavior. Maybe they can be called duchesses. Great write. judi

    LOL, love the suggestion for duchesses! Thank you for the six stars and for reading my little satire. You are right, I am writing too much to be retired, Terry.

Go, Terry!!!! If you don't win this one, there's got to be something going on!. I love it Al the way from the mask humor --- you know, Fanstory has been made poorer by the lack of your humor --- through that last line. Great rant and really exceptionally done. Good luck. ann

    Ann, thank you for the six stars. I am glad you found it humorous.
    I must say you write such wonderful introspective, and thought-provoking essays, we must be the yin and yang of FS. Terry.

Terry, by all means, please be like the G.O.A.T. and un-retire. We need to keep reading you!
This rant is true to form. To be a dick or not be a dick, that is the question.
We come across so many in a weeks time fitting most of those Amazon sizes...

Thanks for the rant. It made my morning better.
John

You made me smile here Terry with your little rant about those people who are labelled appropriately when they show themselves to be obnoxious and unhelpful. I think the female version is often called (Bitch) which is also used often. I watched the Alex Maurdaugh story on Netflix and heard that he was jailed for life. He certainly became too big for his boots and it is such a tragedy that his family suffered at his hands. Some people let power go to their head and end up out of control. Yes: the power to choose, and so many choose unwisely these days.

Much enjoyed Terry,

Love Dolly x
