When I read this, I was thinking "hmm...it sounds like another story about a jazz player that lived life as a man, got married and had 2 kids" From a Grade 8 video in Family Studies.
The 'General' aspect was interesting but to dupe people from their money was not. She said that women don't have the freedoms that men do but decides to engage in criminal activities instead? Yeah, ok...
