Well-behaved women rarely make history?

Question

Agree or disagree?

I use the term well-behaved, because that is a term used for children, and has often been used to describe a woman's character. Men aren't held to the same standards as women. Men are 'visionaries' when they don't conform to standards.

Answer 1

there has always been a double standard that men use towards women. hopefully things are changing with leaders like hilary clinton.

Answer 2

If you define well-behaved as complying with the social norm? Then you are absolutely correct, but if that's your point of view on history, then no one would make history, because eveyone would do what's expected of them, and there' be nothing to remember or write about, because we'd all be very spectacular human beings with no flaws, or boring.

Answer 3

Hm. It isn't your behavior that makes history but your deeds. Behavior only makes current news and is forgotten in a few days. Your deeds will last forever.

Woah. I just sounded like an optimist. Blink-blink.

Answer 4

Agree.

Answer 5

I see you copied this off a bumper sticker. Unorginial women don't make history either.

Answer 6

Agree. I find it ironic that someone named "hot pants" has the nerve to criticize you.

Answer 9
