EEK! I just noticed one of the featured programs: "The homo-erotic nature of rugby Is rugby a guy thing or a gay thing?" My vote: It's a guy thing. I shall now take myself off this thread, before I start causing trouble. LOL |

As a joke here at a county fair they set up a booth to get signatures on a petition that would outlaw womens "sufferage". The women LINED up to sign it. But ever now and then a woman would ask the women in line if they were f..ing CRAZY ! |

I think it was Phoebe on "Friends" who noted that women's suffrage sounds like a bad thing, but actually it is not. Still, I can understand the confusion about a word that nowadays is not all that common. |

Woman's History Timeline They forgot one: 2008 - Hillary Clinton, first female President of the United States... ;) It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . . |

Woman's History Timeline She'd be worse. Hopefully that headline will never happen. Don't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to a woman president, just not Hillary. Calm Chaos Forum...Join Calm Chaos Now |

It is in the nature of hierarchical power structures to become opaque and foster internal secrecy while seeking transparency from others in order to exercise maximum control . The current US Govermnent in a nutshell... ;) It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . . |

Worldwide girls' enrollment to university/institutions got higher than boys in the last decade. That means we might experiencing interesting bio-time cycle change... (and boys and maybe many fathers getting attracted to all kinds of computer games a sign of neural shrinkage...) Mandtugai! |

Woman's History Timeline Geena Davis played a role on television as the first female U.S. president. The show didn't last one season. If that is any indication about public sentiment . . . |

I would be very happy to see a female president of the united states. Condo might yet be one.....[/quote] Condo!!! That monster?!! The problem here with Hilary is that she is also the wife of an ex male president, and one that didn't exactly distinguish himself in office either. Ahh..another case of a woman being held responsible for the actions of her husband. Rather incestuous wouldn't you think? You mean like having a president who is the son of a former president and got into power because his brother rigged the vote in his state? D'ya want to see Cherie Blair as PM? Yeah..I think she would actually make a very good PM. Reality Internet Personality |

Woman's History Timeline Personally, she couldn't be any worse than what we have. But that's not saying much is it? She seems a tad hawkish to me.... Account frozen... |

When you used to learn history at school I am sure you got the impression from the history texts that women often did very little of importance. Much the same way it was often thought that there were no women artists...or scientists. It is not because these women weren't out there doing things..it is because they just didn't get recognised for it. That is what this thread is about. After all..(written) history is full of men's achievements. It's just nice to hear what the gals have been up to too. Reality Internet Personality |

I do think Hillary could be a good president. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

Anne Bonny (c. Born on 1700-1705 Died on April 25, 1782) was an Irish pirate who plied her trade in the Caribbean. Some of her story at Wikipedia I loved Anne of the Indies, the movie that was loosely based on her. A list of female pirates. Aargh! |
