For Uppity Women and Gentlemen's Auxilliary, Take 2:
Being a touch uppity myself, I attempted to identify the other Uppity Women, as well as the gentlemen in the auxiliary.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x5050794

For reasons I'm refusing to disclose, I got it wrong. I’m pretty sure it’s still wrong, but I’m just uppity enough to try again anyway. :shrug:



Thank you to Simply Fugue for providing the best definition of uppity, suggesting that an “Uppity Gene” exists:

"In the early Pleistocene (1970), when I began identifying and writing about the women of long ago, I came to see that the most remarkable trailblazers no matter what sort of hand life had dealt them shared certain traits: flexibility; humor; a strong sense of self-worth; everyday courage; and an extra measure of vitality or life force. The very same qualities are abundant in the spirited uppity women of today. Coincidence? Or further proof of Uppity DNA? You decide."—Vicki Leσn


LostinVA’s motto fits perfectly:
"We're uppity! We're proud! And we women can get loud! Got a problem with that?!"


We’re way too uppity to agree on a drink. Nevertheless, Joan_Alpern has provided a lovely picture of a mojito for us.




The list will follow … and then you can all scrutinize it again! :hide:


Uppity Women, :yourock:

7. Well, then, I guess we'll have to do it over again.
It's too late for me to edit my post. :( Darn! And I was hoping it would be right this time. :banghead: (That' me getting uppity.)

I like your motto! :yourock:

14. and in alphabetical order!
Only the most uppity woman would have such high organizational standards for such a wonderfully uppity list of people. ;) It's obviously a gene issue.

We need a mojito toast smilie by the way. Who can we call to make that happen?

:hi:

Welcome, GOPisEvil! At this point, it's possible that an uppity woman might require something of you. That would count as initiation. Be alert and good luck! :woohoo:

while you're drunk? Damn, you're good! One thing, though -- when you find that bed, make sure you put your foot down to keep it from spinning. Otherwise, you'll puke. :silly:

If one foot is touching the floor, 1/2 my body is out of bed.
