Feel free, bank, but I warn you, it doesn't always work right. ;-)

Could this have all started when women were given (and took) the right to vote?

Actually someone, I think it was RobRoy?, brought up the woman's right to vote angle to me. I think it's likely that's when the gradual downslide got the steam to evolve into a headlong rush to disaster...
Interesting that FDR was thrust upon us quite soon afterward.

I'm also coming to believe it may have been a double-barrel shot.
Isn't it interesting that the Scopes trials came only five years later?
I didn't realize that until RobRoy pointed out the other and got me thinking...

Wait! Then add to that the advent of "Hollywood".
Sheesh!In a short time society went under some major changes, not really even getting a chance to catch a breath and analyze where these changes may lead before the two World Wars came upon us.

For those w/ the urge to make the "light dawns on a marble head" comment...
hey, it is interesting and, as always, "better late than never"...

Not exactly, right to vote aside (if you want to be really picky at one point it was only land owners who could vote), feminists needed the consent of some men to reach their goals. The men who supported the feminst soon learned that feminist (non-homsexual) women were easy. Support feminism and it will get you sex. That is real reinforcement. Femninsts thought they were demonstrating independence by have sex whenever they felt like it. history tells us they were demonstrating bad judgment. The foolish men who went along for the easy sex have also been proven to have demonstrated bad judgment. Selfish results for a selfish movement.

In post # 170 the small -typed comment was in reference to my comments, not the interesting question that had been posed.

Just wanted to clarify that in case it somehow came across differently. :)
