It was much harder to articulate what sexism was in, say, 45000 B.C, when everybody in the clan had a shit job and it was kind of hard to say which one was shitter than another.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13829102073305209917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111611851606292564.post-88273140346654028582010-12-20T10:27:31.603-06:002010-12-20T10:27:31.603-06:00Dude conveniently forgets that women faced an uphi...Dude conveniently forgets that women faced an uphill battle to work outside the home, much less participate in academics, arts, or the military.

"I own the accomplishments of anyone with a penis!" <br /><br />We don't get to claim the accomplishments of everyone of our race, gender or sexuality. But this is what is tempting about the camp philosophy. Haven't accomplished anything? That's okay, claim the accomplishments of your gender, nationality, or race.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306497842941350537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111611851606292564.post-17626334164659456432010-12-19T15:35:27.070-06:002010-12-19T15:35:27.070-06:00Yes because without women all of those things woul...Yes because without women all of those things would have happened.<br /><br />Wait...oh..shit forgot about that without moms there are no kids and women who supported their husbands and ran famil...why am I even bothering. lolMagnoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17458570372034099890noreply@blogger.com
