"Blessed art thou among women" (Bible)

.....RH+, unfortunately has been ill of late.  She is quite frail, having lost weight without knowing why or how.  She has no appetite and has no energy to do the things I have seen her do.  Her nephrologist called one morning and told her to go to the hospital because she was dehydrated and her kidneys were not functioning properly and she needed to take care of that.  She was in the hospital four days and while I was alone in the house I was reminded of an article and a book by Ashley Montagu titled "The Natural Superiority of Women."  And I agreed with him.  He maintains that women by nature & biologically, are superior to men. Scientific tests indicate that the female brain is more highly developed structurally and functionally and it is capable of  thinking more soundly and intuitively than the male brain, Montagu says. The end result is that women are more insightful and have greater stamina and longevity--or, in other words, women stand the test of time.

.....According to Montagu, women are the carriers of the true spirit of humanity, as best captured by the love of a mother for her child.  It is the preservation and diffusing of that kind of love that is the true function and message of women. While I was alone in the house I got a somewhat different view of the superiority of women.  I realized all the work that RH+ does in our home.  She takes responsibility for our meals; she does all the grocery shopping; does the laundry--and there is a lot of it; she folds--neatly--anything that needs folding; she cleans the table of dishes, cups, and silverware when we finish our lunch & dinner; she tends to making the bed after we rise in the morning; she takes care of the pillboxes of our medication--no easy job; she pays the medical bills; she goes to the board meetings; she just finished four years of her presidency of our City of Hope chapter; she does cleaning when needed; on holidays, birthdays, and anniversaries no one goes without getting a card from her; and when I need help, she is there for me. And the final proof that shows how superior women are to men is when she shows her love and kisses me.  No man can do that for me.
