J Alfred Prufrock Aids Epidemic
1,512 words
At first glance, Esquire magazine seems harmless
enough. In fact, I often thought of it as the
magazine for an unenlightened J. Alfred Prufrock.
J. Alfred Prufrock was the dissatisfied upper
class crybaby created by T. S. Eliot. Both
Prufrock and Eliot himself choose to use initials
instead of full names to accomplish an air of
upper classmanship. This is very much in the same
vein as naming a magazine Esquire which, according
to my computer thesaurus, is synonyms with such
words as sir or arist...

In the beginning of Margaret Mitchell's Gone with
the Wind, the heroine, Scarlet O'Hara grips a
bedpost while her maid squeezes her torso into a
corset, so that her waist will be 17 inches.
During the late Nineteenth century, in the United
States, it was the fashion for women to have tiny

dislocating the kidneys, crushing the liver,

Fashion Industry York Times

... when femininity realizes itself in position of
exercising dominance over manliness, it begins to
derive a sadistic pleasure out of such situation.
This is the reason why women bosses and feminized
men (girlish, lacking physical strength, short,
sexually impotent) are much more likely to
terrorize their subordinates, as compared to men
bosses, fully confident in their manliness. Why do
Saudi kings rule Saudi Arabia as despots, while
being obsessed with accumulation of excessive
