"Thus Dr. Faustroll is accompanied on his journeys (in a boat which is a sieve) by a baboon named Bosse-de-Nage, whose only linguistic expression is the exclamation 'ha ha.' There is a detailed analysis of this phrase, trying to reconstruct from it the baboon´s view of the world:

It's all Alfred Jarry's fault.

Originally posted by lucifershammerI don't think Zarathustra spoke on the matter at all (at least there are no preserved documents I know of that will say women are equal to men). Zoroastrian philosophy considers that men and women are equal in all ways but physical. So, when making decisions and choices in life, men and women has the same ability to choose good over evil.
In what sense does Zoroastrianism claim that the two sexes are equal? Does it teach that men can bear children, for instance?
In what sense do you think most religions lack the idea of the equality of the sexes?
Zoroastrian philosophy uses the conversation that Zarathustra apparently had with his youngest daughter to strenghten their argument that men and women are equal in the sense above.
"To sum up, Zarathushtra (at least according to these verses) was only concerned with the moral character of brides and bridegrooms. He was not at all concerned with their gender, age, cast, race or religion. And he left the final choice of a spouse to each individual, only asking them to choose based on the guidance of their own Good Mind."

Originally posted by Will EverittI doubt it's seen as general knowledge. I hadn't heard about Bosse-de-Nage before I joined TFC, and I still haven't read Jarry's novel. But the origin of Bosse-de-Nage's user name has come up a few times in the forums.

Originally posted by NordlysI actually thought he took his name from the band Bosse De Nage. But now I realize that both the band and whomever he is, took the name from the same source. Or not... I don't know... I'm confused... :
