To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman.
If by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior. Has she not greater intuition, is she not more self-sacrificing, has she not greater powers of endurance, has she not greater courage? Without her, man could not be.

I did a fairly simple shoot today. Mostly because I wanted to finish up quickly so that I could get back to watching Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. If you've never heard of it, where have you been???? Seriously. Every year. Beginning of August. Discovery runs nonstop shows about sharks for an entire week. I've always been equally fascinated and terrified by sharks. Well, really all ocean life. It really is the last truly undiscovered territory, you know? There are monsters living at the bottom of the ocean that nobody has ever seen before! Horrors we can't even imagine live down there! *shudders* Yeah, I don't do too well with snorkling. I refuse to take any "fish food" with me and freak out as soon as I realize fish are following me around. It drives my dad crazy. He's the only one I feel safe enough to snorkle with. I usually half pull him under whenever I panic and surface and start splashing wildly to swim to shore. Fish are just scary. But sharks....those are the mother of all scary fish! And Shark Week lets me watch from the comfort of my couch. Perfect. :)
