New subject: easy modern-day contras with petronella turns

6 Jan 2013

Getting back to the original idea of new terminology for the gender role. It occurred to
me that musical instruments might work.  Keeping the one syllable for the male role we
have bass, drum, horn, harp, bow; for the female role - fiddle, guitar, banjo, trumpet,
whistle. I like the idea of the fiddle and bow,  or fiddle and bass dancing together. I
wonder what mischief the horn and the banjo could create :)

 Considering the intense discussion this relatively straightforward topic
 has provoked, the United States Congress' inability  to reach consensus
 should not surprise anyone

 The first letters of the Greek alphabet are alpha, beta, gamma, delta.
 The first letters of the Hebrew alphabet are aleph, beit, gimel and dalet

 A pair of these should suffice.  Possibilities abound
 a)  alphas and betas
 b)  betas (or bets) and  gammas    (the shortened version "bets,"  has a
 single syllable, just like "men")
            Those who need an explicitly analogy to the sex roles can
 imagine boys and girls
 c)  beits and gimels
 d) gims (monosyllabic shortening of gimel) and dalets
          Those who need an explicitly analogy to the sex roles can
 imagine guys and dolls
