Yes, there are, but they like to discuss history. Not military fantasy, not whether 2002 was more like 2001 or 2003, not speculation about what men 200 years ago were like.
I see men from the past as being master of the house in every way.. women not having a say, Hell its not so long ago that women couldnt be a doctor or a minister in the church.. It wasnt only children who should be seen and not heard.... However who knows what like they were back then.. they still believed in witchcraft didnt they..
We just have to find a lady that was alive during the time of the founding fathers to answer that question.
Unfortunetly I don't know many 250 years old women.
No OP means how a woman thinks of a certain figure from the past, say the founding fathers and them not ranting women the right to vote, make them a lesser figure in their eyes?
No that hard to figure out, nor requires one to have lived during that time.
People were a product of their time and the culture. I personally didn't know men from the past but I am sure that there were decent people. Women were subjugated but that was the custom. In reality women were quite powerful but not in the public eye. The powerful men had wives and many times they would discuss their business with their wives and the wives would guide the husbands. Every couple has a leader and a follower and it is not the gender that determines that, it is the interplay between the individuals. I don't think that has changed.
Publicly women were not shown respect but in every family there was a matriarch.
Just something I am curious about, no judgments. But do you view every man before our modern age as evil sexist hateful men? Whether it be the emperor Nero or your average peasant dude do you view all men back then as horrible people? That regardless of the circumstances just the fact women were oppressed in those times all men before the modern age were evil or at least horrible?
Or one good example I can think of are America's founding father's, regardless of what they accomplished do you think them not immediately granting women every right as men negates any good they may have done?
I don't think many women will share my opinion but I feel like men treated women better in the past than they do now.
I think the right to vote needed to happen. Alot of the "recent" past; not so much, more propaganda inspired than anything.
I have read literally years worth of newspapers from the 1600's to early 1900's & the vibe I get from them is almost that women were held in high regard more so then than now.
I've never thought about it, OP. Why should I think about it? Give me a reason.
Eh... because you're for truth? And you can't hope to arrive at the truth without thinking?
