It was many years ago since the embarrassing day when a young woman ...
..., with a baby in her arms, entered his butcher shop and confronted him with the news that the baby was his and asked what was he going to do about it? Finally he offered to provide her with free meat until the boy was 16. She agreed.
He had been counting the years off on his calendar, and one day the teenager, who had been collecting the meat each week, came into the shop and said, "I'll be 16 tomorrow."
"I know," said the butcher with a smile, "I've been counting too, tell your mother, when you take this parcel of meat home, that it is the last free meat she'll get, and watch the expression on her face."
When the boy arrived home he told his mother. The woman nodded and said, "Son, go back to the butcher and tell him I have also had free bread, free milk, and free groceries for the last 16 years and watch the expression on his face!"
Docters, please post comment on this:
I thought I read that Men's muscle fibers are not just bigger/can get bigger, but they are more flexable then womens. Something to that affect...I can't remember. Somebody back me up or set me strair.
LOL...the 70's....I always thought that women wearing ties (yeah, some were) as a statement was so hilarious....they were copying the very MALES they disdained.
The word is consistently misspelled in the article. The correct word is a n d r o g y n y." It is a mating of the Greek andro(meaning male) with gyne (meaning female).
"Androgeny" might mean something like "arising from the male." That "y" is a transliteration for a sound that more resembles the way we would say a French "u" or the closest we get in English -"ew."
The only thing that men can do that I envy, is their ability to pee outside with little bother.
Women? Jeez, you can't even train them to put the toilet seat up.
Yeah! :D
Male-style ties as a woman's fashion were around before women even got the right to vote.
I stopped reading after that second sentence...everybody knows wimmins don't have that prostrate gland thingie. Sheesh.

I took my kids camping over Independence Day...
I was playing cards at our table with my 7 yr old daughter- while my 5 yr old daughter was "making a garden"
next thing I know- she starts crying..."Mommy"
I turn around and she is standing with her hands pulling down the front center of her shorts and the bottom half is all wet.....
"Mommy, I did it wrong"
no- girls can not do what boys can do......
Always knew that those were somehow connected.
Liesure suits bad...
Farrah good!
Wouldn't you like, just once, to be able to get out of the car and "check the tires" along the side of the road? I guess I'm not setting my sights very high when it comes to equality.
Seriously, the only thing I want is to be able to do what I want, and if it just happens to be a traditionally "male" role, I don't much care. I was a pall bearer for both of my grandmothers. The first time was out of necessity--a male cousin failed to show up; the second time was my dad's idea, because he thought it was neat the first time I did it. Both my grandmothers would have gotten a kick out of it, I'm sure, and they were no feminists by any stretch of the imagination.
There are plenty of men messing things up out there too.
I understand your point though. Funny how I more often agree/side with with men in a debate.
I hope that the rumor is true, because that would be hilarious.
Untrue...in my dating days, I knew a couple of gals who could hook their heels behind their necks.
To be fair, I don't go over to Palm Springs, nor up to San Francisco....so I don't know if any of the fellas can do this; but I doubt it.
Ah. Memories. That was the first poster on my wall.
Yes! I'm talking about the Farrah one!
