I missed that pile of dog-shit from 'godelian'. He seems to base the experience of women on 1950s American sitcoms. Women have ALWAYS fended for themselves because men can't be depended on and are a danger to them for the most part. Human history is full of women bringing up children on their own, trying desperately to keep them and themselves alive. I was doing family genealogy for a while and just my own ancestral records are full of these women with large broods of children and no 'white knight' around 'providing for them' and being someone that 'godelian' thinks they should be eternally grateful to. Fuck knows how they did it. Some were found in the workhouse via census records. How does 'godelian' think women managed when men just took off, leaving them with half a dozen children or more, or went off to have fun in their wars, or drank themselves to death??Fairy wrote: ↑Fri Oct 18, 2024 7:47 amI see what you mean, and I must say, now that you mention this, I have to agree, actually. So thanks for your comment.godelian wrote: ↑Fri Oct 18, 2024 3:46 amThat is a misleading exercise in historical revisionism.
Men have historically always provided for women, often with great effort and even at the risk of their own lives.
Women in past generations certainly understood this. They were generally grateful to their husbands for going to great lengths in taking care of their families.
Modern women should not talk on behalf of women in past generations. These women were traditional. They did not think like modern women. Nowadays, there are still lots of traditional women, especially outside the West. That is why modern women should only talk on behalf of modern women. Traditional women are perfectly able to talk for themselves.
They like the deal. We like the deal. So, where is the problem?
So fuck godelian and his shallow bullshit. Men are NOT people that women can, or should, depend on. Not by a mile.
