Yeah It's A Scar, Get Over It Man.

Uncle jack gallantly bowed me to the bathroom. While he cleaned and bandaged my knuckles , he entertained me with a tale about a funny nearsighted old gentlemen who had a cat named Hodge, and who counted all the cracks in the sidewalk when he went to town. “There now,” he said. “you’ll have a very unlady like scar on your wedding finger.” 



Let’s step back for a moment,  Is he implying that ladies aren’t supposed to have scars? I’ve had plenty of scars and no one complained. Girl’s back then weren’t supposed to play outside , climb trees, roll around in grass, or get dirty. They were supposed to behave well and learn proper manners, and look as they say “Fresh as a button.” But obviously you haven’t met Scout yet and she was the complete opposite. I find it highly offensive saying that Uncle Jack said, "she'll have a very unlady like scar" because last time i checked , boys can do anything girls can do and girls are entilted just as equallly to their right's as men.



Uncle Jack reminds me of this bipolar human being, who can be nice and loving, then in the blink of a eye become mean. The picture below reminds me of when Scout got a spanking from Uncle jack and he tried to come in to talk to her.

 

Guys will be guys and girls will be girls, but that shouldn't change how they are viewed upon in 

society. They are all diffrent during the day but when you break it down at the end of the day , we're all the same.  No matter the race, the size , the culutre everybody should be treated equally no matter the cause .

I remember in 1941 when all the men were sent off to go fight, it was the women who took over the facorties. It was the women who got their hand's dirty, who produced guns , and who did a man's job. I told you those girls get tired of sipping tea with there pinky up, and reading and gardening. They actually get some hands on work and get plenty of beautiful scars. 

Therefore, Uncle Jack a "Unladylike scar" would just be a mark , to remind us of the past and remind us of how "unladylike" we acted , and we would just laugh and reminise on our porch with are grandchildren , having our bread and tea.
