Queen Victoria put it best...

[EAP]

"let women be what God intended, a helpmate for man, but with totally different duties and vocations."

She was wise beyond her years.

Simon De Beauvoir, on the other hand,


Society, being codified by man, decrees that woman is inferior; she can do away with this inferiority only by destroying the male's superiority.

was envious of a human male's inherent superiority.

[Virgil]

EAP you may have hit on a subject we both agree on. :D

[Shalot]

And then someone else said, "Behind every great man is an even greater woman.'

And then someone else said, "Behind every good man is a good woman - I mean an exhausted one."

And then somebody else said, "Behind every successful man stands a surprised mother-in-law."

:p

I wonder what Mrs Virgil would say if she saw this thread ;)
(perhaps Virgil would pay a visit to the couch for the night :p )

I wonder what Mrs Virgil would say if she saw this thread ;)

Just that Virgil is getting too old or probably he too is getting wise beyond his years. :p

[SleepyWitch]

if by wise beyond her years you mean that she was either 180 yrs old mentally or even stuck in the Stone Age, I certainly agree with you :D

Queen Vicky said that? well, it's easy for a queen to spout sound bites like this, seeing as this quote obviously didn't apply to her.

Here's all you have to know about men and women: women are crazy, men are stupid. And the main reason women are crazy is that men are stupid.
