Well-behaved women rarely make history.

Kinda true for men too, y'think?

[displacementor.livejournal.com]

Well, I suppose. [She gives him a hug, chuckling.]

Is that what they say?

[displacementor.livejournal.com]

A historian once said it. It's an interesting viewpoint, and as a woman who's never settled? I agree completely.

[ghosted-badge.livejournal.com]

Though really who's the person that determines if a woman is behaved or not?

I believe the original meaning was 'women who don't stay at home to cook and clean.'

[andre-st-jean.livejournal.com]

History is the History of dead white men. Isn't that a compliment?

[ready2please.livejournal.com]

Not to be rude, but this isn't a sixwordstory at all. It is a sixwordquote.

Shouldn't it have quotes around it? And shouldn't you attribute it to the person who actually said it?

[displacementor.livejournal.com]

The attribution won't fit, but the character will give it to any who ask.

This character is using this quote for a reason--it tells a part of her story.

Now if the mods of this comm take issue with me using a quote, they can contact me. But no, it's none of your business, and there are plenty of other SWS entries that are quotes--mostly snippets of song lyrics, from what I've seen.

That depends on the definition of well-behaved.

[displacementor.livejournal.com]

Considering the source, she was referring to women who behave a society dictates is 'correct' at that point in time.

[hermethods.livejournal.com]

"Good behavior" in the social sense is nothing but a series of arbitrarily assigned standards for the purpose of more easily controlling the rank and file, anyway.

Very Orwellian of you.

Ignorance of history is not the fault of history, but those who don't remember.

[displacementor.livejournal.com]

Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.

Hm? I could trade quotes all day.

[enigmassweet.livejournal.com]

We have to love our rebellious sisters.

[oakdaughter.livejournal.com]

Though, I've found those women of ill behavior who ended up in history rarely had a good ending.

Which is probably why women today should admire them all the more and forget about HEA.
