If you think "not burning the meatloaf" is the only thing why women were respected and revered, you are about as ignorant in this subject as you are with discussing the Bible.
Nothing you said proves women are now better off than they were. So what, you get to vote. But look how much you had to give up for it. That's a high price to pay for you to call it a "victory".
What are your loftier goals? Besides being unhappy with yourself, discontented and always wanting what someone else has?
Well why else were they respected?, if it wasn't for their domestic abilities?, they sure weren't CEO's or managers, or gasp owners of a business, being ignorant in this subject is something I most certaintly am not, also not ignorant about the bible either but since we don't see eye to eye on either subject I can see why you would think that. My loftier goals you will probably think are stupid but here it is. Wake up, have an awesome cup of coffee, smoke a cig and make it thru the day without dying. I don't ask nor expect much, I am pretty happy with my life and what I have, which isn't much I got with my own hands, nothing was given to me and I think the victory lies with the fact that women no longer have to depend on men to survive, we have found we can do things, make money, buy and cook the bacon feed and cloth our kids and can hold our heads up instead of relying on a man, not that relying on a man isn't good, and here is where you get me twisted because I do like being able to rely on a man but I can also be relayed upon, I do what I say I am going to do, I take out the trash, I do the laundry I do the dishes, its all about communication and pulling my own weight. So no my dear I am not unhappy with myself, I am not discontented, and I certaintly don't want what others have because if I did I would freakin get it myself
