I always thought I was smarter and better than any of my female classmates. They came into my life at the age of puberty, after I had been in an all boys school my whole primary schooling life.

It wasn’t blatant, but we never thought of them equals, let alone superior, than us in school.

She was dutiful, loyal and obedient. And their marriage never faltered. My childhood had very little to cry about, I was always taken care of and was happy.
