Jan 16th, 2018 : Women

Women have been given a bad rap since Eve listened to the snek.
But everyone knows they are delicate flowers who must be cherished and protected.
All they had to do was bear and nurture the children... and chop the firewood, and raise the garden, and can
the veggies, and do the washing and ironing, and prepare the meals.... oh and tend the livestock, knit the socks
and mittens, and clean the home. Definitely not mans work.
Now comes the big one, WW II, we allowed them to pitch in for the war effort, temporarily mind you.



But we had a woman running a crane at Westinghouse Steam Turbine in Lester, PA, in the 70's who was a
WW II leftover, and who needed no horn to warn of her lifts, she could be heard yelling the entire length of
the quarter mile long shop.
Alas, the attitude lasted into the sixties.



The men seem to dismiss strong women as anomalies, one off freaks.



I've got news for you Bunkie, she's stronger than you, smarter than you, and got you by the short hairs. Get used to it.
