I never argue with Texas women in a one on one brawl, momma would have beaten me bloody if I ever struck a woman.

Read a little history about Iron age warfare, washed in blood is a good description.

Assuming I’m not well-read would be a mistake.

Assuming that my part-time job reflects my understanding of history would be another.

Didn’t mean to sound rude in that last post, btw . . . the anti-Potterites are making me cranky. ;)

A lot of people forget that there were two sides to the chivalrous code: men would put women on a pedestal, but at the same time, women would conduct themselves as ladies. You'll still find plenty of men who put women on pedestals these days, but it's very difficult to find a woman who acts like a lady.
