@Roberta,
I cannot do it. It is shameful to stand in the way, or even hinder, the onward march of the Monstrous Regiment of Women as they cluck purposefully through 944 more long numbers towards their goal.
I might lay myself open to a charge of misogyny and all the odium and ignominy that entails.
Stand aside men and allow unopposed possession of the battlefield to our maidens, matrons and Madames. After all, it would be consistent with real life and the traditional inheritance with which Eve endowed the little darlings with. I have little doubt that a great whitewash victory will put an enthusiasm into their dusting, cooking, washing up, making the beds and rearranging the decor of our humble abodes which we can hardly claim to be disadvantageous considering the state of things were we to take on such important tasks or even have them carried out in a mood of resentful disgruntlement.
