The thread about women who use what other women do as an excuse reminded me of this opposite example

When I was in the Peace Corps in South East Asia in the late 70s, there were some volunteers that had a nice house on the beach that all the other volunteers used to congregate at over holiday weekends. It was a very collegial atmosphere and the visitors -- male and female -- would all sleep together in the one big room. Everybody wore the same sarongs to sleep in. The men wrapped theirs around their waists and they reached to their ankles, while the women wrapped theirs around their upper chest and the sarong would reach down to their knees.

There was one woman who was a snooty Ivy League b*tch who had a reputation as a cock-tease with the male volunteers who asked her out. I remember one night in particular where she was wearing a sheer baby-doll pajama set without a bra under it. I had set up my bedroll under a window that night. In the middle of the night, she got up to close the window. There was enough light for me to see up her top as she leaned over me. She must have been cold because her nipples looked like cigarette filter tips.

Although none of the women said anything, you could tell what they were thinking from the way they looked at her.

There is an old saying, never have anything to do with a woman who has no female friends. She exemplified this saying.
