"Old Law Shielding a Woman's Virtue Faces an Updating
By SARAH KERSHAW

Published: January 26, 2005

SEATTLE, Jan. 25 - It is about time, politicians here are saying, for
the state of Washington to catch up with the rest of the world.

Florida has struck down a law forbidding unmarried women from
parachuting on Sundays. Michigan has done away with a law making it
illegal to swear in front of women and children. Texas women no longer
face 12 months in prison for adjusting their stockings in public. And
the ladies of Maine can now legally tickle a man under the chin with a
feather duster.

But here in Washington, in 2005, it is still illegal, under a 1909
law, to bring a woman's virtue into question publicly, to call her a
hussy or a strumpet.

And now, a state senator from Seattle - who is not saying she supports
attacking the chastity of Washington women - is, nevertheless, trying
to overturn the state's "Slander of a Woman" law."

OBFood: I have no idea what I'm going to cook for dinner tonight.
I'll drop by the market after work and see what speaks to me, I
suppose.

This story has received no play in either Seattle newspaper. It could
be that our news is still dominated by dead folks voting (as I recall, a
Texas tradition). Another interesting story, which sounds as if it
should come straight from Texas, involves a woman arrested for a plot to
hurt witnesses in a case against her. She paid her son to find people
to do the hurting. By weird coincidence, the son was killed in an
argument with his girlfriend over the weekend. So much for that witness.

OB food to shut up the yahoos who'll ask about this OT thread: SO's
making ribs tonight. Not sure how he's going to do them, and neither is
he at this juncture.

What are the cooking medium choices? Smoker, oven, gas grill?

Don't cook 'em medium. Cook 'em tender.

I would guess that at one time there were a lot of laws like that
which were originally intended for the protection of women. In
California it was illegal for a woman to work as bartender until some
time in the 1970s. Women could work as barmaids, pouring and serving
beer or they could serve mixed drinks but could not mix or pour
distilled spirits.
