Rodney Writes: 77 Cents On The Dollar

“Enough is enough is enough.” It’s a line from the song No More Tears by Donna Summer & Barbra Streisand that talks about the shovel loads of shit that they put up with when it comes to the men in and around their lives. Whether it was the husband that wouldn’t stop beating his wife, the boyfriend that couldn’t or wouldn’t keep his dick in his pants, or the boss that couldn’t find a way to keep his hands to himself, let alone take his female employees ideas seriously.

Well almost forty years later women are still dealing with the same issues. One would probably ask themselves how could that be? Well I gotta tell ya, last week I received a revelation as to why this remains an issue decades later.


As everyone knows, Bruce Jenner told the world that he was indeed a woman and that from this day forward he was going to live his life as one, so you may call her Caitlyn. Well I have to tell you I fell of my chair laughing my ass off. Here was this 65yr old man, limp dick swinging and all, in a dress with fake D-cup tits.

I’m looking at this nonsense, Annie Leibovitz taking pictures and everybody on my television screen doing their jobs with a straight face. People were actually taking this old fool seriously. For days following this coming-out party (if you will) women were falling all over themselves to welcome this old fool to the sisterhood of womanhood. Like the guy that refuses to extend the courtesy of putting the toilet seat down, Bruce with dick in hand says “Hey girls, I’m here!” He didn’t have the decency to have it removed before coming out.

Yet all across the country I keep hearing the equivalent of “You go girl!” That’s when I realized a few things about women.

One: they’ll go for anything if you can wrap it in enough sentiment.

Two: I have a better understanding why after forty years they’re still fighting the same fight and they’re earning $.77 on the dollar.

I asked my sixty-eight-year-old mother what she thought of Bruce Jenner and she immediately corrected me by saying, “You mean Caitlyn, don’t you?” So I asked her to do me a favor and go to Google on her iPhone 6 and look up “chicks with dicks”. Yes, I know this is my mom we’re talking about but I had to shock her into to seeing what I saw.

I must admit that when the Google page came up and she exclaimed “Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! I had no idea that there was page after page of this stuff!” So I asked her: “With Google page after Google page, after Google page, why are women losing their minds over Bruce Jenner in particular?” I reminded her that, like the song, she had her share of “Enough is Enough” throughout both my life and hers — so why was she so willing to let this guy in without doing any work? Doesn’t she feel the least bit slighted?

“Yes,” was her reply, after a few moments’ thought. Look, like I said, I don’t have a problem with a guy who feels that he’s a woman and wants to be one, but If that’s the case then he should go ahead and have everything cut off. You know, go all the way. If you want to be a full woman, you shouldn’t be half steppin’.
