A vet THAT WAS THERE, said it wasn't so, and no he's no fan of jane fonda

I forgot the rating.

Beautiful very moving positive statement. A much needed expression of appreciation gratitude for principled, thinking women who fight for freedom. (Good men are equally deserving of respect admiration; character is more valuable than looks/money). Anyone who demands obedience to their mundane standards has an agenda. "Well behaved" really means "oppressed" "controlled". I would be a bad person were I not my true, caring, nonjudgemental self following my own path, freely. Bravo!

Not only that, Gloria Steinem and Jane Fonda don't particularly think very fondly of men. Hanoi Jane put her man in his proper place, two feet behind her. You ever notice them anywhere together? He is always at least two feet behind her. Margaret Sanger wanted to abort the blacks, the immigrants, and other "undesirables" in order to clean up the race. Compare them with Rosa Parks?! I don't think so!

What a dick pull and a load of crap. women belong in the kitchen

Well behaved anyone never has trouble, but when there is trouble a man is called, to defend and protect... only because his woman is sacred. remember this.

Why don't YOU think about THIS, Spokenlife: My grandmother raised five children on the Lower East Side, in a cold-water flat, during the Depression, worked, cooked, kept a home--and kicked ass when necessary--but didn't change history. She WAS history. Women who raise children, who embrace MOTHERHOOD, are the bedrocks of the community, nay, our civilization. Without them, we don't exist. Your demeaning insinuation that they are somehow not as important is truly offensive.

It wasn't meant to disparage housewives--it was meant to encourage all women of sorts to kick ass when necessary. Everyone, humble housewives included, in the depths of their heart would like to make contributions to history. (Who doesn't?) FYI, the saying "well-behaved women don't make history" was made during the growth of feminism, to counter Victorian-style pressures on women to be "seen but not heard". So chill.

I think the point is that these women all made history and all took risks or suffered criticism or were attacked. Of course not all of these women made the same contribution to man or womankind. It's just that they all rocked the boat when most women obeyed at being told to sit down and shut up.

Jane Fonda? Margaret Sanger? These are not in the same catigory as Mae West, Rosa Parks, Molly Pitcher, Billie Holliday and so on.
