[QUOTE="Days of Broken Arrows, post: 1209700, member: 4258"] The quote from Natasha in her Elite Daily article reads: [i]"I wanted to show the world that women are the ones with the power nowadays. For years, [b]women have been oppressed in society by men[/b], and only recently have we managed to [b]turn the tables.[/b]"[/i] This is a TOTAL misinterpretation of history. Unfortunately, it's what's taught in schools and on TV. Let me set the record straight. Women were not oppressed per se in Western society. Before we had an information-oriented society that afforded them workplace equality, we had an agrarian civilization and then an industrial one. Women were BIOLOGICALLY INCAPABLE of building and maintaining either. This has been misinterpreted as "oppression" by people who only know what they see out their window TODAY. But everything you see WAS ONCE NOT HERE AT ALL. How did it get here? MEN put it there. Look at your computer screen. Look at the maze of highways outside your house. Heck, look at your house. Men designed and built all that -- and even brought it to you via trucks. (To quote the old trucker's slogan: "If you got it, a truck brought it.") Women didn't do any of this. Not because they were "oppressed." Because they were biologically incapable of doing so[i] en masse.[/i] (Please note the "en masse" in that sentence. Certain individual women are able to do a lot, but I'm discussing women as a group.) If women could have, they would have. But they didn't.
