Number one with a bullet

Guess who's number one when you Google "green prosperity handkerchief"? Poor Don Stewart - can't a tax cheat and fraudulent leader of a 'prosperity ministry' fleece his flock without some damn liberal exposing him? Can't he have some peace?? Seriously, poor Don Stewart. :-(

Anyhoo, how about a Fascinating Womanhood update? Most of my recent surge of hits (20 a day, and I haven't written for a week!) has come from Google searches for FW or something related, and I'm grateful for every goddamn one. I hope these folks stuck around long enough to read and get a little sense knocked into 'em. If they really believe in those tenets, I just feel...well, I feel sorry for them.

Today, just a very short taste from chapter 17, "Feminine Dependency" (in short, be dependent, or as our author puts it, helpless):

6. Don't Try to Excel Him: To be feminine, don't compete with men in anything which requires masculine ability. For example, don't try to outdo them in sports, lifting weights, in running, (heaven forfend!) in repairing equipment, etc. (Scott Jonas and his annoying music seem to agree) Also, don't compete with men for advancement on a job, for higher pay, or greater honors. Don't compete with them for scholastic honors in men's subjects (emphasis Switzer's). It may be all right to win over a man in English or Social Studies, but you are in trouble if you compete with a man in math, chemistry, public speaking, etc. Don't appear to know more than a man does in world events, the space program, or science or industry. Do not excel men in anything which has to do with the masculine field of endeavor.

I'm telling you, this is the greatest book ever written.
