245. I feel that they are ignorant
Edited on Wed Dec-01-04 07:46 PM by Malva Zebrina
and disrespectful of all the feminists that have gone before them. They are arrogant, selfish, self centered women who take their condition now for granted.

If it were not for feminists, women would still not have sufferage and those women suffered humiliation from many a church in the quest to have sufferage for women.

If it were not for feminists, they would still be going to school to be one of two things-- either a nurse or a secretary, because careers such as a doctor,or a lawyer, or a CEO, or an accountant,the really big paying jobs, were NOT open to them. Few even attended college because it was considered a waste of money because women inevitably were childbearers who stayed home and cooked, and cleaned, and raised the children, while the husband supported the entire unit.


I am weary of young people who refuse to take into consideration that wisdom in the past that has gained for them. What they often seem do, in the best tradition of the EVE personality is trash them instead--they were abused because they were spanked as a child, therefore they hate their mother or father who were not the perfect parents, and few are, after all, no one is a born professional parent. They were abused as a child because their parents were 'strict". They were abused because they were not given everything the other kids got, but instead were forced to suffer and do without and live as if they were poor and it goes on and on.

At the age of forty, they are still blaming their abusive parents for their own failings.

And disdain the unique, brave women who in the past, worked hard with great bravery for the times, to establish equal rights for women.
