"The weakest soul, knowing its own weakness, and believing this truth that strength can only be developed by effort and practice, will, thus believing, at once begin to exert itself, and, adding effort to effort, patience to patience, and strength to strength, will never cease to develop, and will at last grow divinely strong."

As for Doppel... I believe there is some credit to what he says... feminism seems to have succeeded in many aspects and seems to occasionally run into that vague area of pushing more for dominance than equality.
Vashti has some merit in that feminism isn't meant to push for dominance... just equality, so that it's likely that those who hunger for dominance may be extremists, aka feminazi's.
My own views on the issue is that unless the job specifically requires physical strength as the deciding factor, any job should be fair game between the genders."The weakest soul, knowing its own weakness, and believing this truth that strength can only be developed by effort and practice, will, thus believing, at once begin to exert itself, and, adding effort to effort, patience to patience, and strength to strength, will never cease to develop, and will at last grow divinely strong."

That would be totally awesome. Actually, what a great idea, one 'real' card and one for blow-offs. LOL.

Why do we even have last names, anyway? I guess people are too stupid to invent new names. Frankly, I'm surprised we don't have numbers instead.

Or you could do what they did in the Jennifer Government novel -
Change your last name to that of the company that you work for. John Nike. Violet ExxonMobil. Hack.

Interesting fact : some Asian cultures - like the Malays and the Burmese - do not practise using family names. Originally Posted by doppelgaenger

Tough luck trying to plot their family trees !!
