In celebration of Rush Limbaugh's show this morning and how annoyed his POV and the POV of his caller made me, I want to issue an interesting challenge for writing today.
Writing Prompt: Write a short story that has a woman doing something that is traditionally thought to be only something that a man is capable of being able to do. Whether you write about a tavern server that proves she can work a blacksmith's forge or a woman in the future that proves she can fly a space ship better in a dog fight than a man - whatever it is, it should start out making it clear that society has a view that women are not as capable of the task as men, and end with the woman proving that women are as capable as men are. Don't have to show the guy up, don't have to be better than the guy (can if you really want), just that the woman is as capable as the man is.
I'd love to see your responses, please leave a link in the comments or post your response there. Thanks!
