His remark “She soon found out what equal rights meant” betrays delightful logic Does he mean he would have done that sort of thing to a man? In fact Stanfield’s whole piece prime material for a psychoanalyst — as is the behavior of most men who display such idiocy Why did little girls keep picking on him?
