Yeah, Gabz, you know once we were allowed to smoke (nevermind that many did anyway), we also started having other "dangerous" ideas. Such as that we weren't property anymore.

I always thought it interesting that women were not allowed to go into bars, until the year just before Prohibition. Women are not equal , and most of us do not want to be brought down to being equal. Most women dont want to be drafted or to be sent into combat in Iraq or Vietnam, or whatever third world infested rathole that the men always so eagarly want to go fight in, we dont want to lose dowry rights, we dont want to lose custody of our children, etc.

You are definitely from a different century. And I'm starting to think from a different planet.

I may not be quite as physically cabable of some things as my husband is - but I am just as equal to him.

Who do you think you are telling me I am unable to be equal to a man? Just because you don't think you are don't dump your insecuritites on other women.

And what is it with you and this "dowry rights" thing? You are apparently unaware that a "dowry" is something the bride's family gives to the newlyweds. Did you have a husband divorce you and not agree to alimony?

Your a "woman?"

So you think no women drank or smoked because they were not allowed into bars?

You keep refering to dowery, which is the bride price. I think you are talking about a womens estate rights which would be Dower and Curtsey, the right of the spouse to a share of the estate whether willed or not.

I remember it from real estate sales courses a millenium (sp?) ago.
