Comments on: When Men Were Men and Women Were Servants http://blogs.n1zyy.com/mistert/2008/09/02/when-men-were-men-and-women-were-servants/ Random thoughts, half thoughts, and just plain stuff I want to blog about Fri, 05 Mar 2010 03:46:31 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Mr. T http://blogs.n1zyy.com/mistert/2008/09/02/when-men-were-men-and-women-were-servants/comment-page-1/#comment-399 Mr. T Tue, 02 Sep 2008 20:44:44 +0000 http://blogs.n1zyy.com/mistert/2008/09/02/when-men-were-men-and-women-were-servants/#comment-399 I believe they just give out "wings" or maybe everyone get's "pilot wings." it's been a while since I've flown with a child of my own.

Some of it was stuff that didn't surprise me a terrible amount: people assumed she was a lesbian, for example. But some of it I thought was interesting -- the old, "That's no way to speak in front of a lady" type thing, for example, in ways that make no sense to me: she mentioned that people would be exploding in rage, threatening to beat up /kill male officers, and she'd show up and they'd immediately apologize for their language. Another thing that didn't surprise me an awful lot is that some people kind of scoffed at the concept of a <i>female</i> cop showing up to the fight or another serious crime, and that some people seemed to think she wouldn't be able to do anything. But as soon as she asserted the least bit of authority, they seemed to realize that she was every bit as much of a cop as her male counterparts.
