- in order to understand women's suffrage would you mind a shorter text? http://www.coalpha.org/Against-Women-s-Suffrage-td7575097.html#a7576321Ah, the ride never ends.
Well, you are doing it the entire time, when you lust for some romanticised version of Ancient Rome and the great society they had back then, so what's wrong with that? The question why women's suffrage is inherntly bad (which doesn't exclude males from participation in politics, by the way) still remains unanswered.
What happened then (and please be a bit more wordy than "liberalism happened", I'll explain to you why below)
Again, there is absolutely zero evidence that something like this might have happened. You are jumping to conclusions because you equate "downfall" with "liberalism".
All women? Even explicitly conservative ones who think a woman's main task should be running the household and raising the children? And as far as I know, every worker is protected by government and legislature to a certain degree, regardless of their sex. So why is this something that outrageous?
Well, you brought up one major argument for that yourself: Both partners working actually means more income. Other than that geriatric care has been professionalised and elderly are no longer reliant on a family member always being within reach, mass production of devices that facilitate doing chores, an overall a higher standard of living and most importantly (it's probably not convincing to you though) the choice of the woman herself to stay in the workforce.
Oh for fuck's sake, replacing one meaningless buzzword with another one isn't going to help anybody here. Now listen: every political belief/ideology is the product of a certain time and its specific social, economic and cultural circumstances. As such, the categories they use are reliant on those circumstances (socialism and its use of the term "classes", overall post-Enlightenment political theory and its use of the term "reason" (as opposed to "cosmos" or "God")).
Now every one of these terms is ideologically charged, but you can still use them for your own worldview if you use them in a purely descriptive manner (which is why "classes" has become an established term). Now, the way you use the "term" liberalism" is completely devoid of any concrete reference to historical circumstances and is pretty much just a different way to pass judgement on a certain development in history that you don't seem to like. Your "liberalism" is pretty much Iconoclast's "change", useful for you maybe in order to find some ominous root of all evil, not very useful in discussions though.
So who did you mean?
Please don't expect me to read all of that. Copy the passages that prove that acknowledging female personhood automatically leads to mass rape and destruction and I'm more than willing to commentate on that.
I just loved the word "quality" when you described human beings, but I'm not going to start a discussion about pedagogics here.
You claim that the vast majority of males are seducers and then you say that they can't even hold a job? A bit strange, don't you think? The economy would be in a worse shape than it is today, if that were the case.
And by the way: I thought the rise of the seducers was tied to the rise of feminism. But now it seems that there has always been a majority of heartless seducers raping left and right and a few remaining nice guy providers longing for their sweethearts.
Could you provide us with a link?
- what happened toward the end of a roman republic was a steep decline in trust among men. this is connected to liberalism. roman women behaved until 1century ad but then become wicked and even installed some emperors.
- there is proof it would happen. most of the legal institutions that regulated women were abolished during the empire (tutela mulierum, for example). they'd get suffrage if rome had been a democracy at the time
- your comparison of sluts and workers is baffling. workers provide but sluts only provide us with feral scum children. and, yeah, there are some conservative women but they're rare and still like to slut it up. they'll use the liberal state the first chance they get
- i understand that point. but it ultimately destroys a society
- what is the point of this? i don't like senseless arguments on definitions. it's obvious what i mean by these words.
- damn. i keep making a mistake there. finally - NOT ALL ANCIENT GREEK PHILOSOPHERS WERE LIBERALS. the late ones were. sorry.
- you seem like an intelligent person, why can't you read the essay? you can skim some bits of it but you'd have to read to understand.
- seducers always existed but in small numbers and were despised by women. only the dumbest sluts mated with them. since a modern woman is by a definition dumb slut now they thrive. they're still not a vast majority but it's getting there. there are still some beta suckers who work.
