Handbags and Women - Choice or Biological Destiny?Written by Henrietta Timmons
Continued from page 1
Am I saying that there is a basic "purse carrying" gene? No - what I am saying is that, biologically speaking, females are caregivers of world and have always had this role thrust upon them since beginning of Homo sapiens. It is our destiny (both physically and psychologically) to make sure that world is in order. We can't handle entire planet but we do our best to organize our own particular sphere! Our "caregiving" instincts are attuned to others and, if we fight this destiny, there is a feeling of things not being "quite right" around us. So enjoy carrying your handbag and know that you are making global community a better place for all!

| | Increases in Allergy Caused By Women’s Lib?Written by Thomas Ogren

“Yeah?” he asked. “Some problem here?” “This ground cover is all male,” I said. “All-male, and all of it rather closely related to ragweed.” “Humm,” he said. “And that big row of junipers you’ve got there,” I said, pointing to side of his yard, “looks like every one of them is a male, too. That ash tree of yours, notice how it doesn’t have any seeds?” “Yeah?” “It’s a male tree. Actually, your entire yard, everything in it except that climbing rose bush on front porch, all of it could have been designed to cause allergies. Anybody here have allergies?” “Sure,” he said, “my wife. She’s got terrible allergies.” I looked at yard full of male ground cover, all of it in full bloom. “Well,” I said, “I’d be willing to bet she’s having allergies right now.”“Yep,” he said, “she certainly is.” Now, I didn’t even bother to ask him if his wife kept their house spotless and dust-free. It was a nice house, in an expensive neighborhood, and somehow I seriously doubted, that his wife’s allergies were being caused by Women’s Lib.
