Thursday Thirteen not written

I had most of it drafted--13 ways the feminists of the 1970s changed our society forever, mostly for the worse, but it got way too long and depressing. By the time I wrote about the population of a small country aborted, the spread of STDs with the free sex movement, the links between pantheistic goddess worship and environmental movement, the awful movies, the growth of porn, the rise of obesity brought on by more processed foods and dependency on eating out, the growth of the pre-school movement which reduced parental influence even more, Title 9 sports, the impoverishment of children caused by the marginalization of men and denigration of marriage, the crummy fashions from ethnic chic to stretchy pants suit, and most importantly (next to the aborting of our future) the launching of inflation in the early 1970s and a nation living on credit setting the scene for today. See? No fun at all. The research by the feminists (basically a marxist movement) will all report that women were the victims, either of the programs they put in place, or the right wing back lash (another thing they created), but I was there at the beginning. I was marching around the state house waving my ERA sign. I am woman, hear me roar. Departments of Women's Studies are now a huge industry wasting students' time with required courses, and libraries are dying, so I guess I'll be shouted down. But you read the truth here.
