My late father was a holocaust survivor - a German Jew. He was also a perfect gentleman, and like me, he had Asperger'Syndrome, as does my daughter.

Not in a million years would he have lifted his hand against a woman. In my entire life, I never heard my father cuss or out of control. My mother, on the other hand, was a malicious psychopathic narcissist. That's what made her so successful.

My father was battered by my stepmother. The police said they couldn't protect him because he was married. He chose to leave all his things and escape.

My mother beat the hell out of me. What you have to remember is that there are a lot of women who beat up men, but it's not a topic that women want to touch.

I don't deny that there are men that beat up women. With very few exceptions, though, these women could leave. They may well have children. They may well be without suitable qualifications. Iidentify with all of that. I left. I never had a friend in the world. You have no idea of what I have been through.

the point is that I had the courage and the will to leave, and I don't think I will ever buy into it that these women couldn't. There were means for them to leave- they lacked the courage and the will.

I have certainly met men that would have murdered me if I got involved. I had a stepfather who raped little boys and was eventually imprisoned. I have seen the very dark side of life.

I am, I suppose, hyper cautious. It's what happens when you have faced life/death situations all your life. The positive side is that I am my own woman.

On the other hand, I have remained poor, and in my 70s have a social security of $200 per month, and so I must continue to work, j have no resentment against men. I don't ' see women as any better. They just do different evil things.

Many women did everything in their power to destroy me. They stole from me, hit me, sabotaged me, cost me jobs, lied to me about men - you name it.

Wny? That's another story, but I was totally innocent.

The Barbie movement does not raise important issues. It repeats a lot of American propaganda. Men are not responsible for women's career failures. Women are. They don't have what it takes.

Hillary? To my mind, she is a stupid, unethical, warhawk. She lies, and she is a neoliberal. I supported Bernie Sanders 100%. You know what stunned me? It was the attack from other women because I supported Sanders instead of Hillary.

These women were more interested in a woman winning than in the actual replacement of a disastrous economic system.

Both Clintons are corrupt.

I don't particularly like Biden, but he did better than expected. I think he is weak, not particularly bright, a nice human being, but the wrong person for the presidency at this time.

I think both the US and the UK are lost, and I feel sad for both countries because I spent a long time living in each of them.
