I was raised and taught by both instruction and example that women were to be respected and placed on a 
pedestal and honored as THE FAIRER SEX...
The women's lib movement and other social, economic, and legal pressures have attacked and keep attacking that assertion...SO...
Are women to be treated differently than men...Are they THE FAIRER SEX...???
When the women in my family stop asking the men to open jars and bottles with tight lids...
When the women in my family start throwing a baseball like males throw it...
When the females in my family can beat the men at arm wrestling...
When the vanities in our bathrooms are missing various and sundry bottles, jars, lotions, and makeup supplies...
When the women in my family can outeat the men...
When the pile of women clothing equals the pile of male clothing to be washed (measured head to head)...
When the women in my family show as much interest in watching televised sports, especially baseball, football, and basketball...
Well, let's just say.......when some or all these things happen...WELL...
Maybe, just maybe...we'll forget about THE FAIRER SEX...!!!
Heck, I was also taught that there were 3 genders...Feminine, Masculine, and Neuter...For a while I witnessed society's attempt to render all things UNISEX...eliminating any distinction between masculine and feminine...BUT...
With all the body piercings, tatooing, and attempts to appear colorless...I'm not so sure that the goal isn't to render all things...NEUTER...!!!
As for me, I prefer ‘Viva la difference'...Heck...Variety is, still, THE SPICE OF LIFE...!!!
