Thanks, Nancy, for taking the time to expand your thoughts.
if I write one, will you read it?
Honestly... no.
As I've said before, I'm no more interested in dead-Clark, Lois moves on fics than the reverse. But I would expect all those readers who like the dead-Lois, Clark moves on fics would read it - think it's a genre preference thing.
re Ann's theory about men and women - historically, on a very broad scale, it's born out by the repressive laws in effect in most ancient, and pre-modern civilizations (so-called
) For example, the UK- married women weren't legally permitted to own property until 1872, couldn't divorce their husbands for adultery (or any reason) although a man could divorce his wife for adultery. Custody of the kids, in the very unlikely case of a divorce went automatically to the husband. A woman's evidence was not accepted in a court or law, a man could legally beat his wife, etc., etc. This, of course, had a significant impact on shaping woman's behaviour over the centuries.
Since everyone's eyes are now glazing over at the history stuff...
