I checked out my FB page and saw a notice from the local American Legion Post in my

[monmouth3]

old hometown. This person was designing a logo for the Auxiliary meeting schedule and on the cover he drew cackling hens. He then said he hoped they would "appreciate" his efforts.. Mind you this is in Jersey and I am not a member but I enjoy reading about their activities. I replied that the cackling hens reduced these women to silliness and that he needed an update on today's women and how to portray them. Immediately the post was removed. I hope I really pissed someone off...Hahaha, I'm now in Florida and a woman of some age (ahem) and it's time for these smart asses to grow up... I intended this OP to go into the Femnists group but somehow didn't work out..Sorry..

1. Glad to hear you're fighting the fight. nt

2. For oh so many years now and it just gets tiresome. The one that posts for the Legion is a guy and

knows me if only by name. I think he knew he might get some flak because it was gone in no time..Hahaha, lesson learned I think...

3. Reminds me of this post. .

I envision that psychopath as being a member of the American Legion in good standing back in the 50's. And thank dog for the auxiliary, the men could just go grab a hen to demonstrate to the guys how keep their women in line..."A good time was had by all" the meeting minutes would read.

4. The nail has been hit. This stuff drives me crazy. I honestly think he thought it was "cute." The

sad thing is many of the women would think so too. Makes me want to wretch, just like the VanHeusen ads. I remember them as a kid..Awful..

5. The women who think it's cute to be compared to clucking hens

have been conditioned for years. It reminds me of Stockholm syndrome, in a small way.
