Thread Name: BS: Women in their 'Proper Place'
Subject: RE: BS: Women in their 'Proper Place'
Well, the old complaint was always that women should know their place.

And that is as true today as it was in the 1900's. Women should know thei place.

And men, likewise, should know their place.

But in both cases they have to find the goddamn thing first, and there's the rub. It's a miracle to come across anyone who really knows their place, regardless of gender. When it occurs, ya know what?? It's because they finally decided to define it for themselves. For most of us this is entirely too much work, but leaving it undone just means you end up not knowing your proper place, and that gets you in all sorts of trouble!! :>)

"Uppity homo sap sap! Someone oughta teach it its place!!"

"Never mind, it's gonna do it itself...save ya the trouble!"

"Oh, all right. Warp speed then, set course for Kalyon III. There are some weird sentient-silicon beings up there who are getting fancy notions of self-determination we have to handle!"

"Kalyon III, aye....."
