     European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - August 4, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Be our guest women serve up a few unpleasing sex roles too Raymond Aragon guest columnist because of their mental physical and spiritual inferior ties women arc inescapably doomed to the subservience of men until the very end of time. Right sadly i recently witnessed two Eye opening occurrences that wholeheartedly support my �?T90s statement. The 1890s, that is. You be the  was at the counter of a base Burger bar waiting for the capable female cashier to Complete my order of one cup of Coffee. After thanking her for the Swift service i momentarily remained at the counter to take the bitter Edge off my Coffee by adding a packet of sugar. At this Point a Quatty fellow dressed in a sergeants uniform a. Preached the counter and touched it with both of his hands and the extreme perimeter of his swollen paunch. A Honey a he said a bashfully a Eye need a cheese Borg or. An Eye need a Large Fry. An a big so a. Done put no Tomarah on that Borg or Cether. Can you do that Honey a. Honey did not say boo to the hungry sergeant. Suppressing an expression of repugnance and mumbling under her breath she dutifully began to fetch his special order. As i walked away from the counter sipping my Coffee in a sorry to say i did no to give that Exchange much thought. However the next Day that very scene snapped instantly Back into my mind for it was repeated exactly As on the Day before with one fantastic exception. The overbearing sergeant was replaced by a female officer. As before i was at the counter of the base Burger bar adding sugar to the Coffee that Honey just served me when up walked the officer holding an empty paper cup. A excuse me a she said politely. A i accidentally spilled my soda Back there. Can i have a refill a As i walked away from the counter sipping my Coffee i was entirely unprepared for honeys response for it simply set the women a movement Back 10 decades. A you forgot to say a please a a Honey said. In disbelief i slowly turned Back toward the pair. Could this be the same Honey who yesterday had no Tongue there i stood watching the officer play along she smiled and replied a a pleas while i tried to figure out honeys sudden change in behaviour. The conclusion i was a forced to draw was regrettable indeed. Even to the Brink of the 21st Century in very distinct ways men and women arc still expected to conduct themselves according to oversimplified sex role stereotypes. So much so that As evident in honeys Case women can unthinkingly impose these constrained gender roles upon their own sex while allowing men the luxury of acting any Way they please. Of the Exchange Between the officer or the sergeant and Honey Wasny to that serious. Honey simply Felt confident against the female and weak against the male. What is serious is that her reactions arc a direct result of our society a unwillingness to eliminate its primitive thinking and to treat everyone with equal regard and respect. It would be Ideal for future generations to realize that polite behaviour should not be inflicted upon women like a duty nor ignored by men As if it were their sacred right to do so. Men lets try evolving a few thousand years shall we women you have come a Long Way so done to spoil it now. Honey you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
