In response to Fidelity, written by Marie Bernadette on January 27, 1998 at 23:36:03

] In my above ramblings on fidelity I mention a woman. This is from the book (yes, this book again) The Family, Sex and Marriage by L. Stone. An unidentified woman is arguing about the 'double standard' with James Boswell.
...I (Boswell) argued that the chastity of women was of much more consequence than that of men...'Surely', said she, 'that is easily answered, for the objection is removed if a woman does not intrigue but when she is with child.'
Where there is a will there is a way, eh?
