of really dumb posters that I've seen for quite a while, and that's saying something. You guys who try to demonize the victim should be slipped a date rape drug and be fucked up the ass a few times, on camera.
You ladies who can't see the black and white morality told in this story, where have you been for the last fifty years or more while your sisters won the battles that protect females from being treated as no more that a male's "property", to be used however he saw fit?
I agree with that--just the part in bold to be specific. cough. some words are more effective with me than others.
??Since the Beginning--men and women. we would really need to go back that far.
Would it surprise you to know---that in the most affluent homes---best of the best --the issues are still the same. I might ask--where have you been???
'Some' women take their marriage vows perhaps too seriously--if a vow can be taken too seriously. Thinking of my aunt--in the mid 40's--grew up on a farm --married for life --had a child ---realized that whatever she had to do----she would not allow her child or herself to 'be around' what she could not condone. My grandparents--depression era---had raised children---high school graduates and then with a tiny bit of assistance from the government---had saved enough to provide the girl's a year each of business school.
My aunt--rode a greyhound bus every day--M-F to the city---no car. tiny house that my grandfather helped her buy when she got married. tiny, tiny, tiny house. That was it---herself upon which to rely. My cousin stayed M-F with my grandparents---Granddaddy brought her into town on Friday's when he went to get the groceries. She saw her Mother until suppertime on Sunday. By golly--my cousin turned out well. Her mother remarried a really good man--2 kids and then took care of my grandmother--diabetes--she suffered a lot. 5 adults/near adults in that tiny house. Difficult--life is difficult. They made it work.
Women's Movement---unheard of at the time. I suppose it has its place in history. Not what I 'go by'----some good songs. In my disco days---'I will Survive' --good for aerobic exercise class--fun for a few evenings. None of that is what really 'guides' my life my choices. My family--some real heroes there.
cough--I hear a lot of negative things about Feminists---some of them are valid. Maybe it was absolutely what was needed---turn of the century---women couldn't vote, couldn't make decisions about how many children to have--so many other things. Originated --iirc in New England--immigrants working for pennies a day in factories. There was outrage---somebody did what they perceived to be moral. Cannot condemn that.
Different approaches to the same problem. 'To the left, to the left'----I agree with that. Thought of it myself --quite some time ago. :> Started in college---first love--a guy in military school. Yes, he became a well respected officer---imo, never a gentleman. Making a lot of money now--2nd career. Found me on FB and shared this with me. His ex---glad it was her and not me. Not sure he is very close to his son--who adores his mother. His daughter will always adore him. Something like the Clintons. ??? I think so.
The family. the critical unit of society. jmo.
