In line with recent “feminist” declarations that they are able to revoke freely-made decisions retroactively, I hereby retract my decision to buy Applied Materials stock in 1999, on which I lost about $20,000.

In retrospect, I did not consent to buying that stock. I would not have done so had I known the outcome in advance. Someone owes me $40,000 (number inclusive of inflation). Whoever allowed this violated my consent by not making this stock purchase go exactly as I expected it to.
