I wish I could speak now about how far we’ve come as a civilization, how far men have come, how far common society has come… but I can’t. Nobody here can because we haven’t. Sure, we can pretend we have, and, sure, in some small ways we have perhaps, but in all of th me important ways, society is still the pig-headed and backwards, sexist and misogynistic clod it was back then, eager to deny women the right to her own bodily autonomy or right to act in her own capacity. Unless she taught for it.
Well, now a lot more than women are at risk of losing their rights unless they vote this November, so remember what’s at risk.
Really? I just wrote a big long reply before I realised all I need to say is that you are on the verge of having your first female president and you want to wallow in the fiction that the bad guys represent not just the USA consensus, but the whole world? You know they don't. Chances of a female leader in the USA in 1920s? Zero. 2020s? You've already had one female politician who won the popular vote in 2016 and now have one who might win the whole thing. If you are willing to look outside the USA you might notice there are a few counties who already beat you to it... by decades. While things are by no means equal. Stop acting like we've made no progress.
The kind of comment that you're replying to feels like propaganda since it's so completely out of touch with reality.
You're the one out of touch.
Okie dokie.
