They currently have about the same set of rights that women had as chattel, except that they're also required to be institutionalized from age 6 to 18 or so. It's a system that doesn't work at all for us - it indoctrinates our children into a dominator/submissor system and locks them into a caste system - but most people don't even realize that. They buy into the system and feed it, and don't notice that it isn't working because that's just the way it is and should be. I'm really glad that our kids are clear that they're in school by choice. <br /><br />You should see the addition! It's getting close...Sedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13992966189983263290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019242355400566406.post-54098952873401541422010-02-06T15:32:38.202-08:002010-02-06T15:32:38.202-08:00Cool, I'm all here now, not headless.

Just as a bully will pick on people smaller than he, (or she) often men will pick on their wives because they are smaller. Although many men have found that smaller does not mean less vicious! <br /><br />I've always said that politics begins in the home. I met so many Libertarians that were all for equality for everyone, except in their own homes where they were lords over their wives and children. Although wives have gotten some say-so in marriage, what about children? The oppression in this society upon the young and small is so great that it's only now being addressed. <br /><br />Along with "put a woman in her place" is "spare the rod, spoil the child." I think one of the confusing things here is that some people go with the ape hierarchy thing. They climb the ladder at work and in society and expect it in the family. Put a male ape in with a bunch of females and the male is at the top. If you believe in hierarchy and have lived it, eventually you might want a place at the top and not just the bottom or the middle ranks. Many people love being waited on and men are no exception. I've known as many marriages where the women were waited on and were at the top, too. <br /><br />But that's no excuse for legal dominance. The fact that the Persian/Greek system has lasted more than 3,000 years is just stupid. But I can see that those who finally got power would not be so eager to give it up. Great White Man is not keen on coming down from the throne. But it is not just gender that was dominant, but money and race. More and more, we're conceding everything to money. <br /><br />Even in ancient societies it was always better to be a rich woman than a poor man. Money is a more powerful oppressor than any man or white man or any bully ever was. <br /><br />But fun to see you posting. Cool. I'm here now, too. Let's see if Blogspot cuts off my head again--I've had to change my picture three times.
