think of the women who have made a major impact in history, like rosa parks. if she "behaved" and moved to the back of the bus, we'd never know who she was.

Well-behaved by whose standards? Historically, women have been expected to stay quiet and stay out of the way when it came to the world. If a woman were to be well-behaved by these standards, then she would probably never do anything worthy of being recorded for history.

well behaved women usually follow a crowed that has already marked history. this is a path that has been trampled by many it is a path that has already been examined and accepted.
whereas a women that is ready to reap the wild wind so to speak is ready to have adventure and in doing so could cause people to talk regarding her actions.
those people pave the way for others in our future.

It means that women who have become famous were not well-behaved. For example, Joan of Arc was a rebel. Rosa Parks impolitely refused to give up her seat.

It means that in America, trashy women make history. Example; Anna Nicole Smith. Thank you and may GOD come soon to make right the wrongs that have been done on this earth.

"Well-behaved women" are those that follow the rules and accept the position given to them by other people (usually men).
The people that make history are those that stand up and say, "I disagree" and make a difference.
