Bumper stickers that made you laugh today
I dunno about that one, MV. It's bugged me for a while. It seems to imply that the percentage of well behaved women that have made history is somehow a lower percentage than the percentage of sluts who have made history. Or cheap ass bitches or business owning manhaters or what have you. Not "well behaved" women. I say here that I believe that those women who changed history in the most positive ways have mostly been extremely well behaved. They did exactly what must be done at the exact moment it should be done and they did it politely and without apology. There's a difference between being forceful and confident and misbehaving. I don't think women mowing their lawns topless is misbehaving by any means. The bumper sticker seems to say you can't get ahead without being bad. And not just *wink wink, nudge nudge* "bad." There's something perverse about the statement that "Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History" in the way it requires history making to be through misbehaving. It also seems to say, "Lot's of well behaved men have made history but we have to be bad to do it." Yeah. That bumper sticker bugs me.

it all depends on whose point of view you think of the quote from. in the past, women were expected to be docile and have little to no opinion on things and just go along with what their father or husband told them to do. and if thats what they do, they are behaving. Women who step out of the traditional roles of women and speak their mind (polite or not) and develop new ideas are not "behaving" according to the old standards. oh and by the way, long live the motivated feminists!

AE, got a little time on your hands? If you wanted a conversation you should have just called. 
But to touch briefly on your main premise.
The world is full of interpretation. As Paul would say, words are a cage. So you say toe-may-toe and I'll say toe-mah-toe and we'll still have spagetti sauce.
Really though, what percent of "great changes" of history ever occurred because the leaders were behaving as they were supposed to (in the eyes of the other they acted against?). Yawn.

I know that you believe that you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
