Reply #18: I graduated from college in '77....and at my school, there

[femrap]

was but only one class (in the Poli Sci department) regarding Women. I spoke with a couple of women who were taking many Women's Studies classes two years ago, and I was told that they are teaching how the 2nd Wavers did everything wrong. (As if Women were ever commended for what they did.)

Many women today are taught that the 'sexee' is the way to go...of course, all the marketing, brainwashing, media are pushing that as well. In my day, make-up was frowned upon and spending lots of time on 'looks' was tres shallow. To fight the kind of brainwashing that feeds women today is one major job that blows....(not the other way around...stupid joke, but I couldn't help myself...need as many laughs as I can get these days.....sorry.)

I think the neocon government is not supporting public education (dumbing down) because they want stupid kids who have NO other choices in life except the military or flipping burgers (or go the criminal route and sell drugs or hook.) Pole Dancing has become a popular job choice of late...!

Could you explain more about 'superstitions?' All I can think of right now is not walking under a ladder. Do you mean superstitious as in 'organized religions?' Fear and Greed...the grand motivators of humankind....and maybe some guilt as icing.
