He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money. Benjamin Franklin
When news are scarce you look for material hiding in plain sight, and if you have not yet noticed, women are all around us.
I am not complaining. Womenfolk always make an interesting subject of conversation.
Because what else is there to talk about besides money and politics? Money and politics are actually a single entity. It is a two-headed serpent called Greed.
But enough with greed. Women make a much more compelling topic.
Talking about that, I just read about a woman called Jeanne de Clisson.
“Jeanne de Clisson, the Lioness of Brittany, was a Frenchwoman whose husband was beheaded for treason. She swore revenge and sold her family lands to buy 3 warships. For the next 13 years she went on a pirating binge, targeting French King Philip VI’s ships, and personally beheading French noblemen she captured with an axe.”
This is my kind of woman… a “nasty woman” with the rightful kind of wrath.
For you should never underestimate the power craftiness of a woman. They are capable of everything. The best and the worst.
Given a chance women can outdo men at every turn.
They have conquered politics, the clergy, the army, space… what is left to overcome? The papacy? Why not after all? The Church would be better much off with a woman at the helm.
I am not saying that women are perfect, far from it, but they seem to be more open-minded and more willing to compromise than men.
If all heads of state were women, I believe that we would have fewer conflicts.
A woman said:
“A closed country is a dying country… A closed mind is a dying mind.‘ from a radio broadcast in 1947” ― Edna Ferber
Our newly minted commander in chief would be very well advised to keep that in mind. Conservatism basically means, “let’s keep things the way they are” or in other words keep women “barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen.
Beware fossilized legislators! Remember Jeanne de Clisson! She has borne many daughters and these “nasty women”all over the world are not cowering in the kitchen anymore.
