John Lambert's recent article on America's Voice entitled, Women Should Be Submissive, brought to my mind an old John Lennon song. I should first mention that Mr. Lambert was weighing in on Michele Bachmann's lame-brained and totally erroneous definition of "submissive."
Wrote Mr. Lambert about Bachmann, "...after the hard work by many women, that a person who is in Congress and wants to be President, would utter something so ridiculous is beyond [belief] to me."
I agree that there have been positive strides taken for women's rights, but there are some - no dammit, I mean there are the Tea Bagger Republicans who want strip women of their hard earned rights and they should be ashamed of themselves.
Is this really what they envision for women?
I am happy that my relationship with my female partner is a lot like this...
Beside which, like John and his bride Pat, if I suggested to the Belle of Ballast Point that she should bow down before me, the air would turn blue around the homestead. My bride knew only two cuss words, hell and damn, when we first met at GTE. Over the last thirty or so years she has managed to learn all of the ones I picked up in the Army, the phone company, and then some.
I can't decide if I was a good instructor or a bad influence but, bless her heart, she knows how to use them when the occasion arises.
I tremble at the thought!
