I just have to make a further comment on the “whistling” blog that I wrote the other day. My sister Nancy, during our weekly time together, told me something that I forgot about a whistling women. She reminded me of the old “saying”…. probably originating in Scotland in the 1700s. When she recited it, we both laughed that we had heard it as children without taking offense at it. Some people saying it was from the Bible, which is not true, but tells us much about the position of women throughout history.
Here is the saying, “A whistling women or a crowing hen are never good for God or men.” In other words, a women must be silent, and are compared to a freak of nature where a female fowl would dare crow like it’s male counterpart. Seems like today, with the NCAA discrepancy favoring the men’s team accommodations, we haven’t come too far since the 1700’s. I’m still whistling.
