otium

i heard once over the radio that a man's job was to keep a woman's dignity in tact
and a woman's job was to keep a man's integrity - i wonder what in fact these words 

mean: google dignity and come upon "the state or quality of being worthy of honor or respect"

for integrity "the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness/ 
the state of being whole and undivided" 

yet - God, himself, divided man - took the rib formed a woman - if the myth is 
to be believed 
and who is there to dispute it - not i - RB wrote

"life's myth dispelled the moment of birth" not woman - not man - just life 

i dispute the division, the power, the very worthiness of honor or respect 
            this moral uprightness that allows for the division of  employment 

today in court - i told a fellow attorney - i so want to be a housewife and volunteer 

to save the children 

and for it to not be my employment - he smiled responded with - "so do i, so do i"
