Butterflies, Even More 

Alana Mautone spotted a Giant Swallowtail! I wonder how it strayed into upstate New York? This web site may get to it some time next year.


"Find the hidden picture" of the well camouflaged English butterfly called the Grayling:

Have you had, or known someone who had, an unexplained chronic skin rash? 


Mental Illness, Underdiagnosed in Males 

What goes on in many dysfunctional families: Man starts a quarrel, possibly as part of the Anger Addiction that is a very common part of male cardiovascular disease and a very rare part of any disease females get. (Granted, a small number of women do get those diseases--but that's beside the point.) Man keeps up the quarrel, dragging in old unrelated issues that "push buttons," until both parties are yelling angrily and making no sense. And then man makes the quarrel public in some way, whether by physically running out onto the street or by recording or even broadcasting it. Woman can tell when this is happening because man suddenly pulls himself together and tries to sound like the Voice of Reason while woman is still yelling and "paying back." Witnesses or recordings will then be called in as evidence associating this woman with that "unstable because female" stereotype. 

We need to stop enabling these men. Even if there is anything wrong with this woman beyond her frustration with a relationship of economic dependency, and probably cravings for "love," with a man who hates her; even if she feels that she has emotional problems when this man is off the scene. Those things may be true but they're not relevant. What we need to say loudly and clearly is: "Stereotyping women in this hateful way is not acceptable. If the man said anything that suggests that he thinks he's in any way qualified to evaluate the woman's competence or intelligence, he is a MadMan and must spend a week in psychiatric evaluation, from which the best outcome he can ever hope for is a year of probation with mandatory counselling." 

The MadMan in this X video said the C word. That's it. That's all. Noel Martin (she published her name on the Internet when suing the man who made the video) may or may not want, or need, or actually be receiving, psychological help for herself; that's not made clear. What is made clear in the video is that a MadMan was intentionally provoking her with a sexist hatespew. He is the one who needs a few months of psychological help before he can be allowed to return to the park.
