I am Alan Booth, an ordinary British Man . I'm not one of the famous people that have the same name as me, just an ordinary guy. Welcome to my main blog, a true reliable record of history from the perspective of an ordinary man, a place filled with my thoughts; perhaps my thoughts will persist longer on here than in my brain itself. My twitter I.D. is @alspresso.

What is a Woman?

Teaching madness
One thing I worry about is what my son will be taught when he goes to school. I was taught sex education when I went to school so you would have Mr Shakespeare saying it is ok to shake your spear. You would have Mr Williams saying what a willy is, then you would have Mr Dickens explaining where the Dick goes in. At least they teach me enough to know if I was being molested by an adult, that is fair enough. But now it is different because you also have Mr Confucius teaching them that there is a gender spectrum. ????
The way I understand it is if you have a y chromosome, you are a boy. If both your chromosomes are x then you are a girl. One or the other. No need for complications. Wouldn't it be better if they just taught grammar and logic with maths. Let kids learn to love reading and learning and not be filled by with all this confusion.
