On a recent visit to my brother's house in Charlotte, NC, I saw the following on my sister-in-law's car:

No, the picture was just taken at a 45-degree angle... that would be 45 degrees to the left.

Yeah, well, my guess is Womyn who drive maroon FORD WINDSTAR's don't make much history either.
My favorite bumper sticker?
EARTH FIRST. We'll strip mine the other planets later.

Women who follow the traditional roles of wife and mother (well-behaved) rarely are famous/found in the history books. Conversely, women who are in the history books rarely were happy in traditional roles of wife and mother only. They could be considered mis-behaved, since at the time, a wife's place was at home with her children, not in a political position or researching science or math, or writing professionally, or any other "manly" pursuit.

Well-behaved or not, never ever put a woman in position of authority.

No wackoe lefist woman's bumper is complete without THE original womyn sticker (BARF):
"A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle."

Missing:
"I Believe Anita"
"You can't hug your kids with Nuclear Arms"
which reminds me... if women ran the military, would missiles be shaped differently?

How about "rude self-centered bitches die lonely".

Apparently, you male oppressor you, you haven't seen the sticker that says BITCH - Babe In Total Control of Herself. (I don't have the heart to point out the inconsistency of capitalizing "in" but not "of.")

Here ya go: Women who put stupid bumper stickers on their cars never make history.
To: angcat
it means "whores" get noticed ..hehehe Monica, Hitlary, Donna Rice and numerous other bimbos whose name I have fortunately forgotten. The average wife, mother and homemaker is not likely to get even 15 minutes of fame or infamy, whichever.

I've observed that the majority of great people in history are not "well behaved", usually neglecting their own families in favor of their focus, and/or are addicts, abusive, lawbreakers, philanderers, or have some other seriously objectionable attribute.
Unfortunately, the bumper sticker in question encourages such atrocious behavior - without noting that only a minute fraction of such amoral people do in fact make history (and many of those the wrong kind). Ask the car's owner if she wants her daughter to take that advice to heart and become a drug-addled 'ho.

I live in Charlotte - and also have a sister (in Reston, VA though) who may subscribe to the same theory. I saw her reading a popular book called "Bitch: In praise of the difficult Woman" - or something to that effect. The theory is, nice women get walked on - and bitches get what they want.
It may often be true - but what they fail to consider - is WHO they may be getting whatever from. Most self-respecting REAL men have had it with bitches - especially the new breed, leaving only wimps to service them.
