This story dwells on dirt. The basic story is very simple. A presently significant percentage of men (my gender) are ignorant, insecure and adrift in a world they did not make. Such men are inclined to violent responses - most verbal, some physical. And they tend to pray on women. Or children, or helpless POWs. If anyone sticks his or her hand into one of these troglodytes' cave, she'd best be prepared for their reactions. Speaking of reactions, the more pro-active one is, the more reactive these fellows are. They're afraid of power, especially powerful females. Best to ignore them - and carry mace. That's what I do, and I'm 6'3" and 230 lbs. (They tend to be small of stature as well as small minded, and they like to take down big guys.)
