Over the millenia, as humans began to use tools, and slowly shifted from an environment where protection from animal predators was necessary, men were no longer quite as necessary either. However, eons of natural selection for stronger, faster, more aggressive males became toxic as there were fewer animal predators. Then, men became necessary as protection from other men, as humanity began to prey upon itself. Rape, pillage, plunder, conquest, capitalism, all the different ways humans try to gain advantage over another, have generally been the purview of males.

We were bred to be soldiers in a battle that no longer exists.

Or at the least first one I remember. Last week I picked up a new Dewalt 20v string trimmer at Home Depot. I really like it. Well built, works good, light weight.

While I was at the store, I remember also seeing a Dewalt 20v hedge trimmer, and after reading the reviews online, decided today to go get one.

So, there I am, at Lowe's, looking in the yard tools aisle, and there are absolutely no Dewalt tools there. None. And I CLEARLY remember where they were, 5 aisles down on the left wall of the store, 3rd bay on the right. I got a little annoyed, even asked a passing employee where they went. He swore they never had them. I even went to the service desk, and had them look it up. No luck.

Suddenly, i felt sad and embarrassed, and kinda helpless. A little old man who's lost his marbles. I was AT THE WRONG STORE! Ugh. (Lowe's instead of Home Depot )

Having a bit of trouble processing my feelings right now. 😞
