When was America ever great? The 1920's? Back when women couldn't vote, and when blacks were oppressed? America has been progressing. If we weren't great the last 8 years--then we've never BEEN great. We live in a country where a misogynistic xenophobic racist asshole was voted in. So apparently the 1920's is exactly the era you want to go back to. Not me.
The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton
