Women in our society have traditionally been treated with a unique honor and respect. Were we always treated fairly? Not entirely -- there was a time when we couldn’t vote.

Actually l agree.

Was America weaker or stronger then? Was American society more moral or more licentious then? Were American citizens freer or more beholden to the government then?
Has "fairness" actually benefitted America?
NoI types want their "black" community to be strong. They are largely correct about how to do that.
