Yes, it came true to a degree. But this isn't about us, it's about them!

My girlfriend would be a much better person if, like in older times, she was constrained by society, in other words if I by proxy was allowed to control her. And she would be much happier too, as now she is the slave and victim of her own, clueless and aimless will, battling depression and the meaningless of it all at every corner.

A woman must choose, be happy or be free. Why do you think they torture themselves with unattainable desires? Why do you think they are never content no matter how they organise their lives? Why do you think that every 6 months they come up with a new 'thing', hobby, (new years) resolutions that never last, 'do fun things together', ... And whenever they do get (to do) what they want, they only get disappointed or flip out because one little thing goes wrong or isn't as they expected.

When have you ever REALLY got to know a woman, I mean really get to know her well, her real feelings, past, desires, ... and found out that she was a normal person that wasn't severely traumatised and damaged and yes even fucked up in at least one way. The only way to "not stick your dick in crazy", is to be gay.

Women are a bunch of totalitarian left wing statists and should never have been allowed to vote.

>Suffrage coincided with immediate increases in state government expenditures and revenue and more liberal voting patterns for federal representatives, and these effects continued growing over time as more women took advantage of the franchise. Contrary to many recent suggestions, the gender gap is not something that has arisen since the 1970s, and it helps explain why American government started growing when it did.

>Women's period of storm and stress.

In the three or four civilized European countries, one can in a few centuries educate women to be anything one wants, even men--not in the sexual sense, of course, but certainly in every other sense. At some point, under such an influence, they will have taken on all male virtues and strengths, and of course they will also have to take male weaknesses and vices into the bargain. This much, as I said, one can bring about by force. But how will we endure the intermediate stage it brings with it, which itself can last a few centuries, during which female follies and injustices, their ancient birthright, still claim predominance over everything they will have learned or achieved? This will be the time when anger will constitute the real male emotion, anger over the fact that all the arts and sciences will be overrun and clogged up by shocking dilettantism; bewildering chatter will talk philosophy to death; politics will be more fantastic and partisan than ever; society will be in complete dissolution because women, the preservers of the old custom, will have become ludicrous in their own eyes, and will be intent on standing outside custom in every way. For if women had their greatest power in custom, where will they not have to reach to achieve a similar abundance of power again, after they have given up custom?

They also made up the vast majority of grassroots charity organisations, many or even most of which were coordinated around/from a church basis.

Women are as much heirs of the West as men, it's simply that the systematic oppression of women prevents them from realizing it. This is a great evil and must be corrected.

Know, O Women, that you too are the heirs of Homer, of Hesiod, of Plato, of Aristotle. The works of Virgil belong to you also, as does the thought of Marcus Aurelius. Augustine is your confessor, Aquinas your theologian. Chaucer and Dante are your poets. Luther is your schismatic, Calvin your doctrinaire. The works of Hobbes and Locke belong to you, too, as do the works of Pope and Swift.

Change the 'he' to 'she,' the 'his' to 'hers' if it eases the digestion. Or don't. It makes no difference. You too are heirs.
