Since women, along w/ "idiots, imbeciles,..." weren't allowed 2 vote in TX then, this makes putting women on a pedastal real, @BeschlossDC
@BeschlossDC @WendyDavisTexas Early female Texan standing with Wendy.
@BeschlossDC is that an oil derrick behind the capitol?
@Bert_Stewart @BeschlossDC Probably not-- unaware of any oil in the area (usu either near the coast or much further west).
@BeschlossDC is that a god or goddess?.
@nyfoodjoe @BeschlossDC Goddess. They deliberately made the features more chiseled so would stand out. Looks more feminine way up there!!
@cherilyntx @BeschlossDC got it...thanks...no disrespect ....just seemed a little like a man!
@nyfoodjoe @BeschlossDC Totally understand-- few yrs ago they took her down for a restoration (spa day?) & had to educate as to her looks!
