"What are you looking for? If you just need a quick ego boost, that's $15, but if you're looking to have someone sitting with you while you're crying, that's $30 an hour. But no hand holding. That's extra."
These are progressive times! Bright lady Navani and Queen Jasnah wear gloves on their safe hand. I'm sure before too long, the holding of safe hands between seriously courting couples will be seen as perfectly normal behavior.
EDIT: Look I'm all for couples doing whatever intimate act they want in private, but all I'm saying is I don't want to see that. Keep it in the bedchambers. Think of the children!!1!
If the vorin church were open to changing with the times, it wouldn't even be an issue! Hasn't the past but of time shown us that perhaps what Dalinar says about honor true? I think it may be time we examine exactly why the safe hand is so off limits! #freethesafehand
It's not just about religion- it's the natural way of the world! Honor isn't the only reason we adhere to the rules of Arts and Majesty. Women have a safe-hand because our arts require only one hand- it's just the way of things! You don't see women heaving on saws and chopping down trees! First we remove the sanctity of the safe-hand, then before you know it we'll lose the Arts as well. Smh my head.
People are defying the arts at all levels now! Bright Lord Dalinar can read and write. Bright ladies Shalan, Navani, and queen Jasnah are Knights Radiant. Do you know what they can't do with one hand? Swing a blade!
Well of course- they're knights radiant! They're basically Ardents and therefore separate from gender. Just because it's what those holy lighteyes do doesn't mean it's what we should do.
