Don't Think You Know...
I remember my grandfather saying, "If you spend 10 minutes trying to understand the opposite sex, you've wasted 10 minutes you'll never get back."
Just because women will never understand men, and men will never understand women, doesn't mean it should translate into a battle of the sexes. But it seems women seeking humanity and individuality have done just that.
A lot of today's 'men' pine for old-fashioned ways, a time they believe women and men were much happier, and the world was a better place. It's doubtful, though, that those men have actually thought about why things changed. Many of today's women aren't as enlightened as they think either.
Considering that organized activities took root in 1848 and it's 2026, with women still fighting for autonomy and rape culture still going strong, don't expect our voices to grow soft anytime soon. Since women's history has to be sought out, since it isn't taught, most people won't take the time to dig deep. The same people who will repost garbage because they saw it on social media, without even taking a minute to look up the facts, will get on their soapbox without an ounce of preparation.
A good place to start:
If women were so well provided for and protected, why would they want or need to fight for change?
Since men were the only members of the population sent to combat, how did unmarried women survive (remember women weren't permitted educations or careers), after a war?
As the movement took hold, what benefits to the government, if any, became apparent that would prompt its involvement in shaping changes?
How did men benefit from the women's movement?
How did the "dysfunctional/fractured family" actually begin?
How and when did we move from education being grades 1-12 to K-12 ..and recently beginning to grow into PreK-12? Who does indoctrination benefit?
It's past time for everyone to get educated and embrace altruism instead of egocentrism.
