The evolution of women.

"You've come a long way baby" was the slogan for a Virginia Slims cigarette commercial a way back. The implication was that smoking by women was a long, hard won battle. Finally women would have the right to bad breathe and lung cancer. What a shame they suffered without it for so long. Then there was the miracle breakthrough known as the "pill". Women could now be free of the scourge known as pregnancy. Sexual freedom meant women no longer carried the brunt of the unintended consequences of poorly chosen lovers. It was now possible to make the same stupid mistakes men did when they let their genitals do the thinking. Maybe Freud was on to something with that penis envy theory. Of course disease from smoking or unprotected sex may be an unintended consequence of the feminist movement, but it doesn't deter them in the least. Recently female primates have been taught to smoke, I guess that's one small step in their evolution toward becoming a modern day woman.
