Fear doesn't travel well; just as it can warp judgment, its absence can diminish memory's truth. What terrifies one generation is likely to bring only a puzzled smile to the next. --Arthur Miller, "Why I Wrote 'The Crucible'", The New Yorker, October 21, 1996

Suck it, haters. Feminism rocks!
Well, ‘Bina, by your last sentence, I think you may just have figured it out. Poor Richard. I wonder how he made out with they women?
No comment!
Ah, the dangers of heteronyms. And of course there is the question of when “dick” became synonymous with penis. We will have to leave the whole Richard shortened to Dick question to linguistics though you won’t catch me asking Noam Chomsky that question.
Actually, I think the shortening of Richard to Dick came before the penis started being called “dick”
I secretly believe penises started being called dicks around the time of Richard III, for obvious reasons.
