My Theory On Femininism

There's one supply teacher I've had many times who's about 55-ish and never wears a bra, and you can see them poking out through her thick sweater, and I always make a wise crack about it being cold in the room or something, but she never takes the hint. She's just like "HM, YES, YOU'RE RIGHT. IT IS COLD."

*Reads only the first post*
I think it's fine for women to work freely. I think every able, good-hearted person should have equal rights.

yeah blah blah blah I agree.

taxes went up dramatically post 50's and because of it a single salary was unable to support a family

in the 50's income tax was like 2%

Income tax is actually an unconstitutional tax if I recall correctly.

Nah that's just nutjobs yelling about filing with the system. You'll find federal courts have unanimously defended the income tax.

Oh, really?

Righto, then. If I recall correctly, the people that told me this were a little quirky.

idk about your acquaintances but usually the argument for it being unconstitutional is based on the sixteenth amendment being either unconstitutional itself, or not being properly ratified.

After only reading the original post, I've come to these summaries.
1) Women are the cause for lower salaries.
2) Women dislike having a job.
3) Women fought for something they already had (being education as an example).

And in the end, it states loopholes and such.

Now, if women balanced salaries out, and nowadays men and women work for the same pay, a man (without the balanced salaries) would still be working for the same pay as a man and woman in a family right now. Of course, you have to take in account in the hours it takes, being you'd work twice as much hours with a man and woman than a man with the higher salaries.

There is, of course, the note of politicians and certain presidents (Teddy Roosevelt, this is to you), started the progressive movement, which is basically another name for the former populist movement. They preached equality and all that. With that, and Theodore Roosevelt's bully pulpit abilities, the conforming ideals of the U.S. became progressive.

Even then, woman's suffrage would probably be used as a tool if civil war ever broke out (but not in the same way as the slaves were released by President Lincoln).

If I have to embellish, I'll think on that. This is just what comes to mind.

Edit: Oh, I forgot to speak of woman's education. I do think that they wanted the acknowledgment. Many people do, do they not? Of course, without acknowledgment, there would be the assumption and gender stereotype (without education) that women are generally less knowledgeable than a man.
