Here they call *it: a Macho wife, or a woman that behaves like a man.<br />Not so long ago I saw on TV a hospital realty series. In the hospital a nurse asked an older ill man whether he was allergic to some kind of medication and his answer was: “no – I'm only allergic to nagging women”. The nurse reacted on his answer with only just a faint smile. Oh – he really was proud at himself! That shows how some older men think about women. They may not nag, they only may be sweet or nice.<br />Luckily the younger generation evolves to the good direction, although...it goes very slowly.:(Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04892001665813531561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8848829300515114319.post-62838156569825982352010-09-22T19:22:13.147-07:002010-09-22T19:22:13.147-07:00Great post Fran!

It's a shame that women have to fight so hard for the basics!!<br /><br />Other cultures and women's position in them are so ingrained that I don't know if they'll ever know anything different. We can hope but have you ever noticed that when a woman fights for what is right she gets labeled a (female dog)? I've never been able to figure that one out.<br /><br />And THANK YOU for mentioning my post :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8848829300515114319.post-87240947078119604732010-09-22T01:48:34.088-07:002010-09-22T01:48:34.088-07:00Luckily you have now two girls with a bright futur...Luckily you have now two girls with a bright future -t-:)<br />We may be lucky that we don't live in India. <br />It really makes me furious when I read this http://www.merinews.com/article/womens-rights-in-india/15765429.shtml<br />I doubt if it will ever change there. I really have to do with these women.:(Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04892001665813531561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8848829300515114319.post-35896416805689338002010-09-21T06:12:52.583-07:002010-09-21T06:12:52.583-07:00Very nice!

Each time one was born, some neighbor or faint acquaintance would ask, when peering into the baby-buggy, whether it was a girl or boy. The first time the response to my telling them it was a girl was something like, "...better luck next time!". The next time it was ".. at least it is healthy!" <br />:) <br /><br />I suppose things have also changed now somewhat there; this was nearly 20 years ago! <br /><br />The story about the elderly woman who went to college and her speech to the younger people was also very heartening. Thank you for posting these! <br /><br />-t-Ter-o-flahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03857983543296804214noreply@blogger.com
