To reform means to shatter one form and to create another; but the two sides of this act are not always equally intended nor equally successful.
Contrary to popular mythology, not all NFL cheerleaders are bimbos or strippers or bored pretty girls looking to get rich. The Ben-Gals offer proof. Neither a bimbo nor a stripper nor a bored pretty girl would survive the rigorous life of a Ben-Gal. The Ben-Gals all have jobs or school or both.
In the course of history, men come to see that iron necessity is neither iron nor necessary.
