Men have made a real mess of the world – we should try estrogen
I didn’t bother to count the countries involved in wars because this column won’t be published for a week. But I don’t think any of the participating countries are led by a woman at this moment.
There are wars and revolutions on five of the seven continents. Not much is happening on Antarctica, although there may be an encounter or three on Oceania, the continent of thousands of islands.
My point is: perhaps we should put the calmer and brighter sex in charge because the hormone estrogen does not increase the size of muscles, egos, heat and hate flashes. It helps with ovaries, pregnancy, childbirth and commonsense.
As an example, I have always admired the human and political skills of Nancy Pelosi, a sweet grandmother-type who carried a cookie in one hand and a dagger in the other. Men learned not to cross her only after she had stuck the dagger in his heart. She has been involved in politics for 72 of her 84 years and knows what she’s doing. When her father ran for mayor of Baltimore, she served him daily as a secretary at age 12.
The male hormone testosterone is another matter. It deals with testicles, penises, larger bones, muscle masses, rapid responses and quick reaction times. But male brains only match female brains in size and synapses. The lack of or excess of estrogen can cause problems, but females also get a small dose of testosterone. If they register high testosterone, they can suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) which can reduce fertility, grow coarse hair over the body, and cause baldness, small breasts, weight gain, voice deepening, depression and anxiety.
If males have high levels, they can suffer from all kinds of stuff too numerous to print here. The most damaging results are aggressive behavior, mood swings, euphoria, irritability, impaired judgment and delusions.
That can be ugly. That’s probably why we often have a dozen wars going on at the same time. Think Putin, Trump, Netanyahu, Hamas, Assad and 50 other war criminals in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iran and the Divided States of America as defined by the Geneva Convention and other treaties. High levels can also cause about 15 serious medical problems.
History and evolution is evidence estrogen may be good for governing
When President Biden finally decided to withdraw from his presidential nomination, he may have created a political and democratic battle between estrogen and testosterone in 59-year-old Kamala Harris, who has gone through menopause, and Donald Trump, a ranting and raving 78-year-old toddler who demonstrates high levels of testosterone and a humongous ego.
The Chosen One, often described as the worst president in the history of the United States so far by history scholars, told NBC News: “Biden is the worst president in the history of the United States by far.” (I couldn’t pass it up!)
If one wants to understand the literature of a country, you must study its history. I have a BA and an MA in English Literature, so it’s fascinating for me, and educational. In the last 470 years of English history, three people with estrogen ruled the country for 178 years: Elizabeth I from 1554 to 1603, Victoria from 1837 to 1901, and Elizabeth II from 1952 to 2023.
Between 1066 and 2024, the British empire has had 35 kings for more than 850 years who averaged about 25 years on the throne. Most were people with very high levels of testosterone, starting with Stephen in 1066, then John, three Richards, eight Henrys, two James, three Williams, eight Edwards, six Georges and ending with Charles III in 2024 – so far!
The kings normally spent most of their time fighting in foreign wars or killing each other in domestic wars. Charles III at 75 has demonstrated a high level of testosterone by marrying his long-term mistress Camilla after fathering two children with the young Diana, who later died in a car accident with her lover, who had high levels of the hormone.
Elizabeth I was the product of Henry VIII, who desperately wanted a son and the beautiful young Anne Boleyn who used her estrogen to produce a girl. A big mistake. Henry VIII charged her with adultery with staff members, imprisoned her in the Towers, and had her head removed.
Elizabeth I evidently then remained a virgin for her entire life and concentrated her 45 years on developing English culture, the time of Shakespeare and Marlowe, the Globe Theater and penny newspapers. During the 63 years of Victoria, the Industrial Revolution, capitalism and the formation of the Commonwealth jerked Great Britain into the 20th century. Elizabeth II managed to keep some of the empire intact in her 70 years on the throne.
In case we elect a high testosterone narcissist, buy a bucket!
The Readywise Emergency Food Bucket sold by Costco for $79.99 has 25,280 calories in 80 entrees and sides, 30 breakfast servings and 40 drink servings. It has a shelf life of 25 years and is dubbed “the apocalypse bucket” by survivalists. The bucket contains 150 freeze-dried and dehydrated servings such as teriyaki rice, cheesy macaroni and apple cinnamon cereal.
The big pitch? The product description says: “It’s not just about survival. It’s about maintaining a sense of normalcy, comfort and even enjoyment during challenging times.”
The bucket reminds me of the old couple who finally went to Heaven after eating lots of oat bran for 20 years. They enjoyed Heaven so much, the wife said to the husband: “Think about it. If we had never eaten bran, we would have been in this nice place 10 years sooner.”
Do the Trumps think they are like the Kennedys?
While watching the final night of the Trumplican Convention and the fact that King Donald’s children, some grandchildren and his third trophy wife were finally sitting in the family section listening to his 93-minute narcissistic ravings and rants about his nomination, I had this shocking premonition: this family may not be finished with politics if The Chosen One loses the election.
By this time next year, the Trump Organization may be history, destroyed by city and state business and tax laws of New York City and New York state. Politics could be their next major business, grifting and surviving on corrupting campaign and other ill-gotten political funds.
The Donald recently claimed he graduated first in his class. He didn’t say it was kindergarten, military school, high school, Fordham University, University of Pennsylvania and/or the Wharton School of Business. He didn’t say it was for intellectual scholarship. It, again, was one of his first-class lies.
It is a fact Fred, Sr. paid for a building or something to get him into Penn and the Wharton School. ‘Tis said he also hired smart guys to take admission tests to get admitted to both private schools and universities. But he certainly rates high in many other “classes.”
The Donald is certainly first or high in many areas: grabbing pussies as a sexual predator, raping women and one of his wives, sexually harassing or attacking another 26 women, lying whenever his lips are moving, cheating on his income and property taxes, adding 20,000 to his 10,000 sq. ft. Trump Towers apartment to get larger loans, filing for bankruptcy six times while playing the “terrific businessman “ role, retaining his position as a leading racist for more than 70 years, being dumb enough to turn a $5 million defamation case into an $80 million one, learning his social manners and vocabulary from watching and participating in World-Wide-Wrestling activities, paid doctors to certify he had serious bone spurs to get five draft deferments during the Vietnam War – and the beat goes on, hundreds of other derogatory and criminal activities while selling a book called Holy Bible for $59.95 which he has never read.
The sociopathic father created a psychopathic-sociopathic son
There may be one Trump who will give a speech supporting the nomination of Vice-President Kamala Harris at the Democratic Party’s Convention in Chicago opposing The Donald’s nomination. Granddaughter Mary Trump has said it would be an honor” to do so.
Mary is the daughter of Fred Trump, Jr., the oldest son of Fred Trump. Sr., who became an airline pilot and died of alcoholism at 43 when Mary was 16. He was a smart Trump with a sense of humor and love for other people who didn’t fit the sociopathic world of Fred, Sr., and was rejected to sit by Fred, Sr., at family gatherings and was replaced by Donald, his second son.
Donald was the kid he sent to military school at 13 because he displayed the characteristics of a sociopath at an early age. Got that? In short, this family was –and is a – a Rorschach mess.
Mary Trump is the 59-year-old gay daughter of Fred, Jr, who married a woman, has a 21-year-old daughter by in-vitro fertilization by a sperm donor, and has a doctorate in clinical psychology after earning a BA and MA in English Literature at Tufts and Columbia University. She is a practicing psychologist and often appears on TV talk shows to discuss the Trump family.
In 2020 she published her first book, Too Much, and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man, an unauthorized bio of The Donald. Almost a million copies were sold on the first day of sales. In TV book reviews she said the following: “Donald should resign as president because he is utterly incapable of leading this country, and it’s dangerous to allow him to do so. He is institutionally isolated from responsibilities from childhood and has never been accountable for his actions. He should be barred from running for any public office again.”
This is the same diagnosis as 27 psychiatrists and mental health specialists said in a book after they had examined all the lies told by The Chosen One.
Mary continues to attack her uncle in 2024 and has said “it would be an honor” to discuss him in a speech at the Democratic national Convention. She has described him as the “the death candidate” of the Republican Party for the 2024 election. She has said he has a total disregard for American lives and proved it when he did nothing to stop the mass shootings at Sutherland Springs in Texas, Parkland in Florida, and El Paso in Texas – because he convinced the National Rifle Association to back him with its votes.
Fred Trump III, Mary’s 61-year-old brother and a very successful New York real estate broker, has decided to write a book about his uncle Donald titled All in the Family and How the Trumps Got that Way, which will be published this week.
Fred covers an incident that occurred when he discussed the situation about his disabled son with Uncle Donald. The Orange Genius told his nephew he should let his disabled son die, and then move to Florida and enjoy life!
His reaction in the book: “Wait! What did he just say? That my son doesn’t recognize me? That I should just let him die? Did he really just say that?”
Yes, Fred, he just did. The reason might be testosterone and psychopathy.
