My Trip to Germany ~ How Multiculturalism Ruins Tourism

Not easy being a tourist. Went to Germany for some fun but encountered multiculturalism instead. After a long while I accidentally found out that the central station, where we booked our hotel, is a no-go zone. Good times...

You are right that society needs all sorts of people. And there is a quote which, unfortunately, I can’t attribute:
If society does not respect both its philosophers and its plumbers, neither its theories nor its pipes will hold water.
You never knew the America that existed before WWII, of course - even I, who am now “older than dirt” was born before America entered that war. But before the war, it was taken for granted that men had jobs and women were homemakers. WWII set the precedent that women were able to do work which was traditionally done by men, and the old order of women as homemakers (and/or teachers or nurses, no other professions were open to them) gradually broke down.
Concomitantly women have been admitted into the colleges and graduate schools, and - instead of merely becoming a presence there, have begun to dominate there. It’s enough to make you wonder if John Adams wasn’t right when he responded to Abigail Adams’ letter saying
I long to hear that you have declared an independancy�and by the way in the new Code of Laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make I desire you would Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favourable 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 perticuliar care and attention is not paid to the Laidies we are determined to foment a Rebelion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation.
. . . to which John Adams replied,
But your Letter was the first Intimation that another Tribe more numerous and powerfull than all the rest were grown discontented. -- This is rather too coarse a Compliment but you are so saucy, I wont blot it out.
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.
