Grunt Issun Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 It means Nobody cares about women if there not in the kitchen that women dont get known for things as well because the fact that in the past, Men were thought to be better then women, so women never did anything, so there accomplishments dont matter today to the public Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntar! Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 It means Nobody cares about women if there not in the kitchen that women dont get known for things as well because the fact that in the past' date=' Men were thought to be better then women, so women never did anything, so there accomplishments dont matter today to the public[/quote'] Wow. It means that a well-behaved woman, who does what a male-dominated society wants won't make history. Women make history for challenging the way things are done, most of the time.

Felix Culpa Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 It means that for anyone to make history, they have to break the rules of society for the bettering or torturing of mankind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
