10,000 Violent Women and One Screenwriter, Part II
Chapter II of my prison series, 10,000 Violent Women and One Screenwriter, is up at Big Hollywood:
“In high school,” says Cindy, “there were always these chicks, boosters and cheerleaders, the girls who wore different outfits every single day of the week; chicks who made you feel like crap; and they enjoyed your misery. You know something, Robert? Prison is like being back in high school all over again.”

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
I knew I was going to the wrong Jewish summer camp when the boys in my bunk, (yes BOYS), made fun of me for not having enough Bennetton sweaters.
Very, very strange. But still better than women's prison.

What the C.O. told you confirmed my belief of the difference in males and females and how they handle grudges - Men just get it over with and women - well, the Sicilian model is more appropriate ;-)
My high school times were, if not tortuous, not memorable. And Cindy's description of prison, cheerleaders, and high school is worth the read...

Jake, Gary Shandling had a funny routine about going camping - bringing the caterers, etc!

Great article. As I commented on the other blog. I know what Cindy's saying about the differences. "l'havdil," I saw it in teaching, and my daughters prefered being madrichot for boys in Bnai Akiva.
