The exercise went downhill once Sarah developed an addiction to Percoset.

I have come to a conclusion that is mostly completely unfounded, and possibly based on absolutely nothing, however, it is a conclusion none the less.

When I went to school, I learned that for the most part women didn't work until World War II, and that the huge feminism and female equality movements of the sixties and seventies were crucial for making sure that women had the same choices as men and the same presense in the workforce.

Whether I regard this as being true and worthwhile, this is a lie. I've been reading about the industrial revolution and the factory system for three days now, and this is just not true. Women were instrumental in the first textile factories and were long before even WWI, often held managerial positions specifically related to welfare work, and made extreme contributions to farm labor.

This may not have been the majority of women. But why did I never learn this? It seems like America's history is being re-written every day by those who want to make sure kids know everything bad first and fewer and fewer virtues. The history of women as major players in the workforce has been re-written by feminists who want to take credit and who want to give nothing to those we came centuries before them. Fine, it's socially acceptable for women to wear pants, but we were nearly equal for a long time without you.

Sorry.
