Hi,
This blogger received a 50-60s NOSTALGIC? email today and one photo in particular DEMANDED attention and SLAMMED HOME THE THOUGHT ABOUT WHY WOMEN FOUGHT SO HARD for Women's Liberation in those "GOOD OLD DAYS????????????". The men of THE 50-60s may certainly see the photos as nostalgic but perhaps this blogger should remind women of what they didn't have!!!!!!!!
The article entitled "The Good Wife's Guide", 1955, lays out each point beginning with: Hustle up a good meal-he's hungry; put make-up and a ribbon in hair; be a little more interesting-he's pooped (of course you're not!);be interesting for HIM, he's had a boring day (YOUR DAY WAS SO SCINTILLATING!!!!!!!); Check the house so it's neat and clean and in cool weather build a fire for HIM!!!!!; prepare the kids (OH GOSH, THE AUTHOR FORGOT THE WIFE HAD THOSE TO LOOK AFTER??????????)so they won't annoy him and turn off ALL "OTHER" NOISE MAKING MACHINES!!!!!!!!!!
THE ARTICLE GOES ON TO INSTRUCT WOMEN TO: Be happy to see him AND SMILE big time showing SINCERITY (Darned if I know why under these circumstances??? WOULDN'T IT BE BETTER to HOPE HE STAYS AT THE OFFICE LONGER!!!!!!!!); listen to him and OVERLOOK all his transgressions- IF he evidently enjoys entertainment WITHOUT You--IS LATE for dinner or stays out to eat with no notice--don't question his actions EVEN if HE STAYS OUT ALL NIGHT-HE HAS HIS REASONS--(this blogger JUST BETS HE DOES! Right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
THE ARTICLE INSTRUCTS WOMEN NOT TO complain or discuss problems that make him uncomfortable; "Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgement or integrity. Remember (it actually says Remember) HE IS THE MASTER OF THE HOUSE AND AS SUCH WILL EXERCISE HIS WILL WITH FAIRNESS AND TRUTHFULNESS.(Surprised the list didn't command submission to regular beatings which some men relied on to keep the women slaves in order.)
"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO QUESTION HIM" (a direct quote from this knowledgeable source) and FINALLY THE COUP D'ETAT:
**************"A GOOD WIFE ALWAYS KNOWS HER PLACE"**************
Well ladies, how do you like those RULES???????????YEAH, WELL, NEITHER DID THE REST OF THE SLAVES!!!!!!!!!!! THIS BLOGGER READS A LOT ABOUT THE TERRIBLE TREATMENT OF OTHER RACES AND FINDS NOTHING ABOUT THE TERRIBLE TREATMENT OF THE WHITE SLAVES!!!!!!!!!!!WOMEN!!!!!!!!!!!
The young women today believe it has always been like this for females. YEAH SURE!!!!!!!!!! Women got the vote IN 1920. You HEARD THAT RIGHT.Not that long ago. WITH THE VOTE, MEN FEARED WOMEN MIGHT ACTUALLY BURN THE RULES!!!!!!!!! However, it wasn't until the late sixties, just after this list of good wife reminders appeared, that EMANCIPATION BECAME COMPLETE as women struck down the old order and presented their own list of rules and THEY MADE THEM HAPPEN RAPIDLY. THE women SLAVES WERE FREED by women at long last!!!!!!!!!!!
So what's all this nostalgia got to do with Economics today???????WELL, THIS BLOGGER SEES THIS as A WARNING BLAST FOR WOMEN TO LISTEN UP!!!!!!!!!!And change politics and the current economic failures being practiced in this nation
It was during those Helicon days of lists for women that the Washington ADMINISTRATION AND CONGRESS FIRST GOT TO MESSING AROUND WITH WOMEN AND THEIR BODIES. BY LAW, THAT IS!!!!!!! They decided that most men (WHO WERE IN CONTROL AS PER THE ABOVE STATED RULES) were not sufficiently moral enough to make women have the babies they created with them and allowed their women to have abortions. The upshot, of course, is easy to predict. The legislation condemning abortion and making it a crime put some clean, non risk abortion clinics out of business (ALTHOUGH NOT ACKNOWLEDGED-THEY EXISTED.) This MADE WAY FOR a dirty, germ ridden scenario with no antiseptics to spring up like a black market for abortion. Abortions continued IN WIERD RUN-DOWN CORNER STORES AND TAR PAPER SHACKS WITH CONTAMINATED TOOLS (IF ANY) AT HIGH PRICES AND DISGUSTING CONDITIONS. THIS WAS DURING THE TIME MEN WERE 'MASTER OF THE HOUSE' There was no real provision to care for the needs of poor, DESERTED women.
OKAY, we move forward to Roe v Wade, the litigation women sought to free doctors to produce sanitary conditions for abortion. NOW HEAR THIS!!!!!!!!WHETHER YOU APPROVE OR DON'T APPROVE OF ABORTION IS NOT THE ISSUE HERE!!!!!!!!!!! In the time of Roe v Wade there was not real consistent PROTECTION against pregnancy and women who got caught out, would seek an abortion. KEEP YOUR MORALS TO YOURSELF UNTIL this blogger FINISHES!!!!!!!!!! Most of these women had not made the strides economically they now possess; they were abandoned (BY THOSE LORD AND MASTERS)and often lived under stern conditions, ostracised from family. There were a lot of other reasons as well if YOU MUST SET YOURSELF UP AS JUDGE AND JURY!!!!!!!!!!
Not content to leave ALONE THIS ISSUE, IT BECAME A NATIONAL POLITICAL FOOTBALL WITH WOMEN AGAIN BEING KICKED AROUND IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. This blogger has said it before and WILL say it again!!!!!!!!!!! POLITICIANS AND THE LAW NEED TO GET OUT OF WOMEN'S LIVES AND LEAVE IT TO THEIR CONSCIENCE AND THE DOCTORS. That also applies to all the SELF RIGHTEOUS BUSY BODIES WHO HAVE APPEARED OUT OF THE WOODWORK TO CONDEMN THE SINS OF OTHERS INSTEAD OF LOOKING AFTER THEIR OWN.
President Obama is now using the issue of feminism (and I'm sure he's a real authority) as others have done to gain votes for a new way to enslave all of us. The abortion issue is simply an excuse to make women feel that by voting for him, the LORD AND MASTER WILL HELP THEM climb the next rung of the ladder to freedom. RIGHT...........ASK MICHELLE why she isn't President and Barack, second banana??????????
The whole idea of women's problems and needs being decided by anyone other themselves with their doctor's help is anathema that this BLOGGER thought was resolved by a NEW RESPECT, DEFINITION, and CONFIRMATION OF WOMEN as FIRST CLASS CITIZENS during the fight for Women's Rights. Women are not second or third class citizens to TO BE DEFINED BY A MASTER (whether that master be an organized body of men or one man). Shouldn't this generation of women be seeking the continuation, affirmation, and extension of WOMEN'S RIGHTS STARTED BY THE RIGHT TO VOTE IN 1920.
This blogger is wondering when the younger women are going to understand the gift that was passed down to them and GET OFF THEIR LAZY BUTTS AND FIGHT AGAINST POLITICIANS WHO AGAIN WANT TO USE WOMEN TO DO THEIR BIDDING ON ABORTION OR WHATEVER. IT'S NOT THEIR JOB!!!!!!!!!!! Tell them to mind their own "BEESWAX" and MIND the American Store on which they've been doing a deplorable job.
WOMEN--GET OUT THERE AND RUN FOR OFFICE, INSTEAD OF SWEEPING UP AFTER THE MALE POLITICIANS and PROVE THAT EVERY WOMAN IS NOT ANOTHER NANCY PALOSI OR SARA PALIN. And above all keep the politicians focused on THE RIGHT BUSINESS OF STATE. AND That's not running women's business for which they have no experience or understanding.
"EVERY GOOD WOMAN SHOULD KNOW HER PLACE! LEADING NOT FOLLOWING!"
