LJ Idol Season 8: Week 8

Travelling TravestyThroughout history, members of the fairer sex have been disguising themselves as men to go and do traditionally "male" things, such as fighting wars, from which women were barred. There were female "monks" whose real biological sex was only discovered after their deaths

Very interesting! What a great idea. I would love to read about some of the adventures of your dandy persona.

Interesting and surprising that it still is so unaccepted.

It sounds like it works well for you. In this day and age, though, it seems that a woman should be able to travel alone without having to fend off unwelcome advances. This was a very interesting entry.

Great idea, and something used through history. It makes life easier, you feel comfortable, what's not to like?

This was an interesting read. I don't travel much and when I do, I'm not alone, so what you bring up in this piece is honestly something that never would have crossed my mind. I think I'll have to remember your tricks if I'm ever travelling alone in the future :)
