I have never really questioned the phrase - until now! I agree we can let it go and use instead phrases you suggest. But there are also phrases like "Pearl before swine" or "Age before beauty" that I don't mind deploying now and then.
It's great you brought this up! It's a good reminder for men that, even when we're trying to advocate for women, sometimes the results of our actions say otherwise. Your thoughts on this custom showcase this a lot! If we're going to advocate for women, we need to listen to women first and what they want, not what we think they want. Thank you for sharing!
I hadn’t thought about it in that context but this makes total sense.
Thanks Greg. I'm glad it's prompted the challenge of thought. 🙌

Ha ha! I've never heard 'Pearl before swine' before. Both of those phrases come with a strong element of jest as well. Thank you for reading. 🙌

Thanks for your message, Caleb. It's a hard one when it's a phrase we're so familiar with. Appreciate your note.
