Let's Do What We Can To Keep Them Chattel

Lot’s wife, Noah’s wife, John’s wife.
Who invented the internet?
Don’t say Hedy Lamarr.
Name someone else.
If it was a woman, no one will care.

Not the girls in the audience?
What girls?
You know. The other half of the population.
Good grief! We should not have even given them the vote.

Next thing you know they will want to be put
into the history and science books.
Especially if it is that time of the month.
Let’s do what we can to keep them chattel.

Sounds good to me.

Oh dear. I rue the day this happens! Women are our mothers and grandmothers, who have given us life, nurtured us, and used their creative minds to tender us through life.

I am glad you feel this way my friend; I knew that you did.
