I’m curious about how so many people talk about the “Framers” of the constitution. I heard that this term has been used in recent years instead of the “Founding Fathers” because it offended women’s groups to use a gender specific term such as “fathers”. Yet the fact is that all of the “Framers” were indeed men. So how does it affect the self-esteem of women to talk about the “Founding Fathers” when they were men?
