My impulse is to say the same thing you purposely used to irritate me and say there are insufficient footnotes here to support your assertion. However, there are occurrances so obvious and valid that they should be accepted by people of healthy mind and good will in much the same way that one need not document the phenomenon that the sun rises in the East every morning.
In the case of bra-burning it was a weekly occurrance at various demonstrations in the late 60s and early 70s much as was draft card burning in other movements. The shock and efficacy of the act rapidly declined with repetition. At the same time bralessness becam a public fashion for a period. The movement then developed other thrusts in its direction. Some of these were intellectualized interpretations such as the assertion that any sex with a man was rape, and declarations of "I can have my own orgasm" which appeared in some movies. ...and, no, I don't have a list of movies.
I anticipated that someone would present the "doubting Thomas" argument to avoid the subject. It's going to take more than that to convince me, however. Given that I wasn't around for much of this time period.
Do you say these occurrences are "so obvious and valid" because you actually saw it occur, or are you basing it simply on what the media told you?
I realize that you can easily go after me and ponder whether I dispute whether the Holocaust occurred, etc. Nonetheless, pretend I am completely ignorant. Convince me.
Exactly my thinking (See? I actually think!) When Spyder Tim questioned the truth behind my reference "bra burning," I automatically assumed he was a twenty-something who had never actually seen one. Turns out to be true, but it hadn't occurred to me that he may also be the product of feminist revisionist educators who claim bra burning never took place.
Peace. Despite ourselves.
