This quote REALLY got me. America was built on individualism and every man for themselves, with women entirely excluded. If this country wants to call itself a Christian nation, it needs to start there. Either you are a Christian nation and this should be the standard practice, or you‘re all about individualism and everyone for themselves which is the true antithesis of Christianity, even before Rome came and corrupted it.

kspenmoll Agree. We should not be a nation of any religion but obviously in the last few decades Christianity has taken over our government. It is a hypocritical shield for so much greed, evil in my mind, for exclusion of any one with a different philosophy, religion, way of life, world view. (edited) 3mo
GingerAntics @kspenmoll oh my gods yes! From a historical standpoint it‘s been much longer than a few decades, but this is definitely the result either way. They have certainly gotten more extreme and angry in the last few decades for sure. 3mo

This was something I really struggled with when I was in college and grad school. To look at the world, to look at history, to look at humanity, especially to be a historian as a female is to see where men wax poetic ad nauseam about the dignity of man, but never apply that to women. Sadly, it feels like this is still happening. I don‘t want to be treated better than you because I am not. I simply want to be treated as an equal, because I am.

kspenmoll Some of this book is sad in that such attitudes about women still exist- they are familiar. 3mo
GingerAntics @kspenmoll I totally had that thought! I‘m sitting here thinking not much has changed. How are we still combatting this bull?! 3mo
