Didn't much matter back then - he was a man among boys.

Willie Stargell, too.

Everyone in the Bay Area knows this school as St. Joseph's or St. Joe's. Nobody uses its full name.

Farting is not unladylike (nor ungentlemanly). It is quite humanlike (or, I guess, mammallike). That said, I try not to fart around my wife and I don't shit with the door open and carry on a conversation. I am neither ashamed nor want to pretend like bodily functions don't happen but I value my privacy (four kids…

I am not married to Crazy Aunt Kanye but my stats are pretty similar (married more than 2 decades, in my 40s, multiple kids (first kid when my wife was 29, last at 38)) but I'm a guy.

That's an insightful comment. Not every kid who commits an atrocity has neglectful parents or parents who model the poor behavior. Sometimes the kids do bad shit, are wired to do bad shit and the parents may be struggling constantly with "how the fuck did Johnny or Jane become this way?" (amidst tears, most likely)
