Even pianos had limbs rather than legs.

Hi jblum: Perhaps their is merit to your claims but my readings over the years on this area explained women in general could cut with refinement.
However lets view what women wear today some indeed fashionable but many especially the young look as though they belong in a red light district. And if you follow some they act like that is where belong. Further consider that while women in the 1900's wore corsets to slim the waist women today some women today are down to 100 calorie diets..what's changed?
Today more women run major corporations, more women than men attend college and the wage gap myth is a political ploy.
However most of this is beside the point. My original post was strictly about the offensive use of the b word. Is it any wonder why some women get slapped around something I consider very cowardly.
The women in my life have all been very strong never submissive. However they tended to compliment rather than compete with their men. Sometimes they lead and sometimes they followed. From the day I met my wife (freshman in high school) we have worked together in harmony to build a life for ourselves and our families and I bet that most people have done the same but it always seems the more outrageous get the attention
Feminist claim that women fought to do with their bodies as they pleased and I wonder why a woman would choose to abuse her body, her spirituality and her self worth by being promiscuous? I also believe the same about a man and wonder why men brag about their many conquest. I mean alley dogs can do that.
