WOMAN KNOW THY PLACE

WOMAN KNOW THY PLACE is an 8X6 limited edition signed print. It was made by adapting a Duncan Grant Suffrage League Poster from 1909. The Hand of God and a scroll were added. The words paraphrase the warning to women from Vice President What-his- name. Basically, have babies not ambition. Your are, after all, handicapped by being a female!
At his old Law School, the Yale grad was asked about what he called the “corruption” of “elite culture,” and he replied, “You have women that think that truly the liberationist path is to spend 90 hours a week working in a cubicle at McKinsey instead of starting a family and having children. What they don’t realize is that that is actually a path to misery. Women will drown.”
Yikes! For godz sake ladies be warned lest you drown in your own ambitions. Do please just lounge around in your Kohler tub with the brushed gold fixtures. Nibble on bon bons and read trashy novels until the kids come home. Man’s elite culture is highly overrated and a mess, anyway. Amen.
