All because they were independent women

being able to give birth and raise children is not on equal footing is not the same as having systemic political power. having some minute level of influence over their husbands is not significant power either. I am not sure to what power you are referring. Women weren't allowed to own property or credit or vote until relatively incredibly recently; women in the workforce is a fairly new thing in history too. Additionally, women haven't even had bodily autonomy for long -- spousal rape was not illegal until the 90s, and of course you have honor killings, and just take a look at the middle east.

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: yeah they fought for responsibility not power.

It was a bad fight.

What "power" are you referring to?

Dk they literally burned women in Oregon that had cuck husbands or no husbands

they proposed a tax on single women in Alaska back in the day

@triplethread: yeah other women convincing men that other women are bad? Sounds real patriarchal to me.

Power is hard to define from a political perspective but most would call it influence. If you want to think of it as influence you can.

power: influencing your will on others or your own affairs.

i'm just going to repeat what I said earlier: hey ladies, women have more power in society because they get to say no to having sex with me

soap

If you see power as influence, I still stand by my previous message re: indirect minute influence vs the actual ability to make final decisions

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

i think a big disconnect for a lot of men is not feeling like they have power in their own life. so they are not empathetic for the position women are in. but just because you don’t feel much better doesn’t mean they don’t objectively have it worse

Dkk

@windyMagician: thats not necessarily more power. That could be more responsibility and agency. It really is neutral though.

Next topic on the docket is reverse racism

Reverse racism doesn’t exist change my mind

there was an AA talk in OT

@soap: financial decisions = responsibility. Minute influence = power. You agree with me.

I think that the position dk is arguing for vis a vis history and power dynamics is pretty unsustainable, but is this closer to what you’re talking about dk:

if someone calls me an evil harlot for taking birth control again I’m gonna be so pissed

Lol never read it. No idea. However, I do think giving women the pill removed responsibility from men when it comes to who they stick their dick in.

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: I think that discussion wasn’t really for or against it. It was about the white admits + AA.

I gotta go work a shift, but I will conclude by saying that men had the power: a woman *could* ask her husband to vote for X or make Y decision, but he didn't have to obey and in fact, because women couldn't own property and the legal system prevented them from being self-sufficient, their words meant little. Ultimately, it was up to what he wanted; she didn't have other alternatives.
