@Saeko does not believe in bearing children for the good of America. No. She believes in her right to be living child free.
She is not going for Margaret Atwood's
A Handmaid's Tale. You know Margaret Atwood based all of her storyline or plot on real historical facts. That shit that shows up in her novels are not really made up. It has been used in some form of oppression against women in some point in history. People think it is all fiction. It is not. She backs it up with facts and research. It is very interesting.
Women have been relegated in the past as only capable of incubating babies. Not capable of rational thought, definitely incapable of being political or sound in judgment, or even slightly trustworthy of doing administrative positions. I think the bourgeoisie women in the noble classes were allowed to supervise menus for fancy dinners and servant schedules.
Their role was for bringing forth the children that their boring marriages required for inheritance laws. They did not even raise their own kids. The wet nurses fed them, the governesses educated them, the servants did their laundry and their care. The bourgeoisie did not give a fuck about being involved with their own children. They were sent to boarding schools and far from their parents. I think Queen Elizabeth II sent Prince Charles to some all boys elitist school where bullying and being a man repressing emotion was a sign of good breeding.
I think that shit was horrible. But that is the ruling classes for you. For me they are the most cold, callous emotionally group of eccentric locos on the planet. Lol.
As a group women have been always seen as not capable of rational thought, and on the edge of hysterics and hysterical behavior and needing a straight jacket and being committed to the madhouse or poorhouse or workhouse of the Victorian English era.
The conservative elements are always nostalgic for a time where women knew their place, and shut their mouths, and did not aspire to have equal rights with anyone. Especially with their social and economic superiors like wealthy, white men with property and big mouths and big egos....and thinking they ruled with the intelligence of their penises.
How wrong they still are Skinster.
