In this society that has been created there have been rules, customs, and courtesy's passed down. Each decade since the formation of the country women's rights have been expanded, which is good, no one should be oppressed. But now women's rights have expanded so far that they have infringed upon my rights. For example let us say I have a child with a woman, we split up and now we are in a custody battle. Let us say we are supposed to be equals, but if neither has a criminal record, both of our incomes are the same, guess who gets custody? I am sure I do not have to answer that. Which that reminds me of a joke, if I stick a dollar in a coke machine and a coke comes out whose coke is it? Mine or the coke machine?

But seriously in my home state of North Carolina there is a bizarre law called, "Assualt on a female". I felt this was so bizarre I actually looked up the statute, then I searched for a "Assualt on a male" charge. There isn't one, now this statute defines that any male charged with this is denied bail for 72 hours, and he can be charged if there is a suspicion of an assualt. I could have sworn we already had an assualt charge, so now we have to fragment it for one side but not the other?

Now comes my next complaint, women truckers, my most recent encounter with them was interesting. I pulled into the fuel island, and began fueling. I ended up pumping 170 gallons, which does take a little bit of time. Well when I had pulled in there was a day cab in front pulled forward. I waited another 10 minutes before someone finally came out to the truck. I was livid and yelling, I began with saying, "Hey anytime you ####### feel like it cupcake." She actually had the nerve to walk towards me. I feel like people should respect others, especially when they are angry, and they shouldnt think that because they are a woman you're protected from my wrath. I went right into DI mode, "You must have lost your god damn rabbit ############# mind walking back towards me. You need to get your fat #### ### back in that truck and get the #### out of the way before I really get angry." She actually has the nerve to say, "I'm a lady and I think you should treat me better." I wanted to shove my cheater bar down her throat, but I quickly resorted to logic, "Lady? Woman, look at me. Does it look like I need to beg for ##### from a nearly 60 year old woman? I'm not as desperate as some of these guys that would claim Janet Reno is a fine looking lady. Now get the #### out of here before you get your hands dirty."

Anyone else had this problem? I have more examples of women truckers. Please don't take my examples as, "No women in trucking." That is far from the truth, I just want everyone to be treated equally. And I would like to stop the #### sucking on the CB. It gets old.

PS I know 65 + 45 = 110, its just a joke for my dad as he is a helicopter pilot.

Sorry I gotta pipe in here. You made the comment there were no lines in the ladies bathrooms at T/s's. Just how many have you been in? I have seen plenty of lines in the ladies restroom at many different truckstops. I am not saying I agree with the fact she was on the fuel island so long. I have reverse and I know how to use it. I think you probably egged it on by talking down to her and calling her cupcake. Don't ya think?
