Senior Don Juan
There was a story that came out of a Gettysburg battle reenactment a few years ago, but I've lost the original.
A woman reporter was covering this huge event, and she had the opportunity to experience it in three ways:
First, she wore man's clothing, period fashion, and posed as a contemporary reporter.
Okay... Next, she dressed in correct women's fashion for the time, and recorded her observations.
Finally, she went back to her own modern clothes, which she much preferred over the others.
She noticed right away, that as soon as she did this, the men all stopped tipping their hats to her.
And women wonder why there's no more "chivalry"!
