The Maverick Conservative

See previous blog entries on "dames", as well as the previous entries on feminism.

This is from my OLDER daughter (earlier entry today involved my YOUNGER daughter).   I think that my older daughter, for some reason, is in a campaign to become "favoriet daughter" (unusual, because my daughters are usually competing as to who will have the honor of being LEAST favorite duaughter; I only have two children, both female, which explains how I can comment so authoritatively on women--in addition to my natural brilliance and film noir instructional education):

"Only because I am feeling particularly generous today, I will impart
to you this dialog from Calvin & Hobbes that I thought you'd probably
like.

Calvin:  "Do you like being a girl?"
Susie:  "Its gotta be better than the alternative."
Calvin:  "Whats it like? Is it like being a bug?"
Susie:  "Like a WHAT?"
Calvin:  "I imagine bugs and girls have a dim perception that nature
played a cruel trick on them, but they lack the intelligence to really
comprehend the magnitude of it."

Exactly, except that I think where Calvin has gone a little astray is to assume that women have not played a cruel trick on THEMSELVES.
