AB-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 21, 1990 Women’s Equality Day One of my theories is that men love with their eyes, women love with their ears,” said the actress and connoisseur of men Zsa Zsa Gabor. “Men are taught to apologize for their weaknesses, women for their strengths,” added American advertising executive Lois Wyse. How, then, can such different creatures ever be equal? In matters of the law, Samuel Johnson offered, “Nature has given women so much power the law cannot afford to give her more.” After nearly two centuries, he was outdated and outvoted. Honord de Balzac opined, “Equality may perhaps be a right, but no power on earth can ever turn it into a fact.” Still, good people try. Every century has its peculiar tide of thought. - Sarah Joaaph* Hal* ■3- Try drinking nettle tea (Urtlca dioica) for hay fever relief.
