[QUOTE="Basil Ransom, post: 170996, member: 49"] America is so inhospitable to femininity that anything one could do to cultivate it, whether in one's daughters or in one's wife, will look extreme, antiquated, even evil to the average American. Frankly, I don't give a fuck. I know some people think not putting your daughter in sports sounds incredibly retrograde or whatever... to modern Americans. But it's like say, gay marriage. Fifty years ago, you could not find anyone who would support it in polite company. So who's right, us or them? Now or then? This is one of my biggest beefs - that something with almost unanimous agreement 100 years ago is now dismissed without even discussion, because "clearly we know better." I'm not just talking about gay marriage, but a whole litany of issues. If you think objectively about many issues, and don't immediately kowtow to modern views, you'll start to question all sorts of modern orthodoxies. [/QUOTE]
