Trump giving $5,000 to every American citizen is โbribery,โ but Democrats giving free healthcare, free housing, and free education to millions of illegal aliens is not. Got it.
Women were never oppressed. There was NO oppression. What women call oppression today was just PROTECTION.
Let me break it down for you:
1. VOTING:
Women say "we couldn't vote." But back then, voting was not a right, it was a RESPONSIBILITY. Only people who owned property, paid heavy taxes, held public office, or were drafted to DIE in wars could vote.
100% of the people dying in wars were men. You want to vote to send men to war, while you sit at home safe? Makes zero sense. Voting was linked to the DRAFT. You vote, you go to war. Men understood that.
2. BANKING:
"You needed your husband's signature!" Yes, because by LAW, a woman was LEGALLY PROTECTED from debt. Her husband was the head of household and by law HE was 100% liable for ALL debts she made. If she borrowed and couldn't pay, THEY CAME FOR HIM, not her. Creditors went to jail or lost everything - the husband.
So of course his signature was needed. He is the one who goes to prison if you don't pay.
3. PROPERTY - COVERTURE:
They cry about coverture. Coverture meant when you marry, your property merges under ONE name, the husband's, because there was ONE tax filing per household, not two like today. ONE household, ONE name, ONE tax.
It was not to steal from you. It was because the husband was legally responsible for you. If you got sued, he paid. If you owed taxes, he paid. He took your debts too.
These men had mothers they worshipped and daughters they would die for. They were not oppressing women, they were covering them.
4. CONTROLLING WOMEN'S BODIES:
The biggest lie. Back then there were NO abortion pills, NO condoms that worked, NO diapers, NO formula, NO government money to raise a child alone as a single mother, NO good jobs for women to survive alone.
Who bears the most risk in unprotected sex? THE WOMAN. She gets pregnant for 9 months, she risks death during childbirth, which was very common then.
So what did society do? They made sure women stayed virgins until marriage, and made sure men MARRIED them before sex. That is not oppression, that is PROTECTION from becoming a single mother with 3 kids and no food.
And it WORKED. Single motherhood rate was less than 5%. Marriage rate was 90%. Children grew up with fathers.
Today you have "freedom" - 40% single mothers, fatherless homes, abortions everywhere, and women crying that men don't want them.
There was never oppression. There was a system that understood biology and protected women from the consequences of their own choices.
@Sabremetrix@TheSabreReport Will never forgot watching him get booโed out of the Tullys on Main and Transit.
Will also never forget watching his brother Scott snap three twigs over his thigh and skate off the ice after hitting a post in a pick up game. Needless to say, we never saw him again.
