I know what would, and wouldn't transpire. Would not "be a man" for very long. At best, it wouldn't matter if I were.
The "power-that-be" regards me as obnoxious enough by accident. I don't want to argue that with her, she has too much ammunition. I'd lose.
And as long as she regards them as accidents, I'm better off.
