Female Supremacy Articles

Screen 17 of 18

Take my place of work. I have watched young men, many of whom cannot be called handsome by any stretch of imagination, visiting the 'toilet' very often, not to empty their bladders but to stand before the mirror there and admire themselves, pushing a stray hair back into place, and doing all those things that I thought were done only by women.

And as for gossip ! I have been a newspaperman for more than fifty years, and during that time I have found that the biggest gossips meaning talking shop about other people and their idiosyncracies in the newspaper world, at least in this country, are the men.

I can understand men in groups discussing the weather, the political situation, and high cost of living and loving and so on. But what do you call men who gather in groups of three or four and begin tearing apart someone who invariably is not present among them

I have gathered more information about someone I was writing about, by simply listening to groups of men chatting, whether with glass in hand or not. I have learned about who was doing what, and to whom, not by reading the newspapers, but by listening to newspapermen. Women in the fourth estate, I find rarely gossip, and if they do so, it is for the purpose of gathering material for something they are in the process of writing.
