The original quote is "Well behaved women rarely make history" but I'll open this observation up to you menfolk as well ;)

people who make history are usually unique in one way or another being well behaved or no is not what will determine that..
as the above gave examples mahatma Ghamdi was a well behaved man and i think that we both agree that he made history .............
Generalization never proved to be beneficial ,judge each case individually and never say never

This statement is unarguable because it is biased as to which side you are speaking from. Martin Luther King, for example was Well behaved, having pride... Gods truth.. and such things. His "behaviour" is based on the comparison to normalcy. He was also jailed many times...
Which makes this biased. He wasn't misbehaving he was doing the "right" thing.
Rosa Parks... as well..
Jesus is even better example... He didn't behave.. or did he?
Are you telling me he did behave? even according to the Romans?
according to who?
It is false, because well behaved people Like Jesus are more recognized.
of course... this is a fallacy... but why exactly :D

Yes, I do believe and agree with this saying think almost all the women in the past who have "made contributions" have been outspoken, demanding, loud, occasionally obnoxious, *itches. And in the past (and even now!) good little women certainly would NOT have acting in this fashion, they were too busy taking care of the babies, the husband, and the house to be concerned with "movements" of any kind. The rebellious women- the ones that stood up to be recognized, the ones that said I don't give a flying turd if you don't like me yelling and wearing pants, I like it and I'm making a difference and that feels good, because I don't want my daughters to suffer as I have and my mother had!!
Thats my rant for the night....always fashioned myself one of those "misbehaved" women! *wink*

This is quite true. While people say Rosa Parks was well behaved, she was breaking the law, not being "well behaved". So, be a bad kid!

The statement is true and applicable to both genders. To make history you have to change things and things rarely change without resistance.

Yes, because when you're well behaved then you tend to be overlooked and taken for granted. Therefore not very history making.

Definitely.
Well-behaved people don't change things. Change is what makes history.

Well it's like Billy Joel once said: "Only the good die young" You need a little bad in your life to sometimes get over lifes little hurdles that get in your way.
Rum shots sweety!

People who impact the future make history, behavior, or gender for that matter, not withstanding.
