Reply #18: We need women's studies in the schools [View All]

or at least some good history. I had a younger friend in her 40's tell me she thought all that feminist stuff was an overreaction in the day. She has no idea where women were at in the 60's and 70's. I told her I was there and told he how things used to be. I used to have to get a husband's signature before a woman could have a hysterectomy when I graduated from nursing school and started working. I had to have my checking account co signed by my father after my divorce in the early 80's and he had to cosign for me to buy a car even though I had perfect credit, had already paid off two cars with a perfect record, and had a good job because I was a divorcee. Hell we still do not have equal pay for equal work. I remember when you were supposed to give up your seat in the nurses station to the doctors and fetch them coffee and put up with groping.
