comment on July 4th Shock: Have the Redcoats Returned to Rule?.
Thom, I am smiling at your well-meaning political correctness, because of course the document says, "...all MEN are created equal." When one then tries to explain, well, "men" meant "all people" in the common usage, one is well on the way down the slippery slope. Because that is true: men were people in their world; women were a lesser creation. I raise the issue now because, for all of the harmful fallout from Dobbs, several generations of women now have no idea of the full panorama of that world view, nor, especially, of the extent to which it is STILL VERY MUCH WITH US. Do you really think it's far-fetched to imagine Alito's pen poised to decree that women only got the vote in 1920, hardly a mandate of the Founders? I recently heard on regular broadcast news radio that some red states are looking at doing away with no-fault divorce. (Look out for your community property, ladies!) But the significance of "no-fault" is partly against the historical/cultural background that women are inherently less trustworthy, less mature in judgement. Why, even when the Comstock Act came about, a woman wasn't considered reliable enough to be a witness in court! So, fine, let's get that divorce business back to his word against hers. Then there is that fear and loathing of female seductiveness; her corrupting power and inherent promiscuity. I'm a bit of an addictive YouTube comments reader, and believe me, it is just the tip of the iceberg when you see 1) I'm OK with abortion long as it's not being used as birth control, and 2) she won't need an abortion if she can just keep her knees together. Now we have "abortion after birth." My wish is that eyes could be more massively opened to the visceral hatred and despite reflected in these ideas, and in the policies that will flow from them. The attack on Mifepristone in the mail is only a hint of what may be in store for us. Because I am sure the troglodyte 6 absolutely believe "all MEN are created equal," and a reversal of ALL these 20th Century "rights" of females will just be restoring god's balance to things.
This space before has recalled how recently a female could qualify for her own credit card: I've recounted my high-earning career Mom being sent back for Dad's co-sign of my first utility account, 1974 or so. Yet one of her favorite words was "sluts!" There are going to be our fellow women whose fear and loathing of "sluts" will drive them to vote for the strongmen who will let the sluts die. How do we reach them to vote for the lives of their daughters, who are not sluts, but might die of pregnancy?
I hear there is a surge in men "solving the problem" by vasectomy. My god! Just tell him to vote blue!
Not too long ago, a woman, either on Thom's substack or Robert Reich's wanted to abolish no fault divorce, Maybe because her husband had left her high and dry, in which case the onus is on her for choosing a man for a life time employer. Our great great grandmothers, and my on own mother had no other choice, and for that she paid the price.
The no fault divorce was indeed made law as a means for men to escape the bonds of matrimony without proving infidelity, which truthfully was harder to do with women, than with men. But it was a savior for women who languished and suffered under mental, verbal and physical abuse.
Compare that to the cultures, within the United States, which have no means for divorce, and divorce for a woman means exile from your own family and friends, but not death.
On the other hand divorce in Muslim cultures is equivalent to a death sentence,because women do not have the means of self sustenance, employment or entrepreneur ship,
They have to resort to prostitution or begging.
In strict Muslim countries a woman can not travel alone, unless accompanied by a male family member, even if it is her own young son.
