“I desire you would Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands. Remember all Men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the Ladies we are determined to foment a Rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation”

Abigail Adams wrote that in 1776. Her words have never seemed more prescient than they do today.

Surely, this is a time where many ladies wish to foment a rebellion. So many of us, today, want to burn a system to the ground that could put a man like Brett Kavanaugh, a man accused of multiple accounts of sexual assault, on the Supreme Court. Especially when there is such a strong sense that justice has not been done.

It’s a real Abigail Adams quote.

. . . with a real John Adams rebuttal:

Depend upon it, We know better than to repeal our Masculine systems. Altho they are in full Force, you know they are little more than Theory. We dare not exert our Power in its full Latitude. We are obliged to go fair, and softly, and in Practice you know We are the subjects. We have only the Name of Masters, and rather than give up this, which would compleatly subject Us to the Despotism of the Peticoat, I hope General Washington, and all our brave Heroes would fight.

Thanks to John Adams for keeping that away from other early Americans. And sadly, his poor, depressed son didn’t resemble him much.

Thank you.

I find I am trusting the internet less and less with each passing day. It’s entirely too easy to 404/memory hole any inconvenient fact, and almost as easy to insert a convenient “truth”.

It’s enough to make even George Orwell squirm.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

I sure hope so.

If the female lib-dem harpies want to start a revolution (and I'm speaking of my own sister here), the only thing I have for that is a quote from 'The Quiet Man'...

Wow! Thank you for John Adams reply!
