Glenn's Cult?: Depression (1930's versus now) and Feminism (1930's versus now)

Depression (1930's versus now) and Feminism (1930's versus now)

One commenter on Glenn's blog writes the following:

perspicacious, today's economy is comparable to the Great Depression. In many ways our economy is worse now. Even though the unemployment rate back then was around 25%, they didn't have debt in the multiple trillions as we have today. Our economy is worse today because it's a house of cards that could collapse at any moment if foreign nations stop lending us money.

I find it interesting that Glenn would write a post about the Great Depression. I've said over and over that feminism can only survive during good economic times. Imagine how absurd women would have appeared if they had demanded "equal rights" during the depression. They would have been run out of town. Women especially should hope for a good economy because if things get worse your "rights" will fly right out the window.

I have to say that back in the 1930's the belief system regarding men and women was extremely different than they it is today. This commenter is correct in saying women would be run out of town, but not for the reasons assumed. It would have been because this was "not a woman's place" to rebel or demand rights. Sadly though women's rights has come a long way since then, we still have a long way to go.

WARNING!!!!!!

WARNING!!!!
I must warn all who come to this blog about clicking any links I provide. Unless I state this is a safe website you should take precautions in visiting any site listed as an MRA/FR site. To do so one could open up oneself to being stalked, hunted down, victimized, and even in worst case scenario - assaulted in real life or even killed. The men (and sometimes women) who post on the MRA/FR sites can be dangerous. One nly needs to read the venom spewing from their moouth to see evidence of that. I also post this due to the recent blogs and forums I have discovered over the last few weeks. These will slowly be added to the Cult Wall Of Shame. Please take adequate precaution when visiting these sites.

Fair Use Doctrine

Section 107 of the Copyright Act, entitled, "Limitations on Exclusive Rights: Fair Use," is the statutory codification of the fair use doctrine. This judicially developed concept strives to balance the public's need to know and be informed against authors' incentives to create. The copyright law contemplates that fair use of a copyrighted work without permission shall be for purposes such as (1) criticism and comment, (2) parody and satire, (3) scholarship and research, (4) news reporting and (5) teaching, and that such fair use will not result in the infringement of a copyrighted work. As one may expect, authors and publishers usually take a restrictive view of the fair use doctrine, while users of copyrighted materials generally take a more expansive view.

Thank you too!!!!

I am now friends on a message board with a wonderful man. And you all thought we hated men :-) We despise abusive controlling men and women. We like men and women who are decent, honest, and caring. I will say no more as I do not want to ruin this. But those who fight this same fight, keep going!!! We are being seen and our message is getting out there.

Thank you. And thank you for the important work that you do. It gets my dander stirred up when little men hide behind a pen or a computer and spew out fear, hate and stuff that they think makes them look like "real men" but in fact exposes them for the big bullies that they really are. My father and mother are both deceased. But my dad treated my mother the way every man should treat his wife. She was the Queen in our home and he doted on her like she was still his sweetheart until the day she died at age 84. Abraham Lincoln once said, "The greatest gift a father can give to his children is to love their mother." So many men are unhappy with their own lives and they blame women. That way they don't have to accept responsibility for their own shortcomings. Sad. Pathetic. Again, thank you for your very good and important work.

And thank you for giving us hope as well - the hope that there are good and decent people out there - both men and women.

My blog, My rules.....

I would like to welcome everyone who has arrived here - no matter the road you traveled. I only have some very simple rules. Please try to keep your comments clean (I am a mom and as such I do not like extreme vulgar language). I despise the "c" word so it will never be published. Otherwise I will be very lax as I want this site to be a release to those of you who have an issue with the MRAs in general and Sacks and his followers in particular.

I must also slide this little disclaimer in here too (just to protect myself from those pesky little creatures called lawyers and those MRAs who would think they will file a lawsuit or something silly like that against me). I am using YOUR WORDS on this site as well as publishing my opinion of those words. Nothing more, nothing less. I am "not" responsible for comments made by others on my site and if MRAs can behave then they might very well be allowed to post here. Like I said, this is intended to be a release for the women who have been attacked on various sites online to have a little comic break from these constant attacks.

I am posting this blog and all of my comments as a naturally born citizen of the United States and am exercising my right to free speech.

I must also caution my followers and posters against posting any identifying information. This is for your own safety, as I foresee this blog quickly becoming a very hated tool against MRAs who abuse and those who assist them. I mus also make one additional rule concerning posting other people's (such as our exes) personal information. I have been through a very nasty divorce and I know how our exes can react. As such I must make it a number one rule, as much pleasure it would give us, against posting any information which could identify our exes. First names (or initials if the name is uncommon) is fine but no last names. This will be enforced on this blog, unlike "other blogs."
