I don't have to thank my grandmother, she didn't do anything to make a change. It's quite the opposite, she never understood the movement, which is a whole different type of sad, really.

Actually a lot of children are married off underage - 1 in 9 children are still married off below the age of 15. http://www.unfpa.org/child-marriage

while so many are offended and whine and complain about morays of decades past, future generations will condemn what we do.

my grandma is dead thank you very much, and i find both extremes offensive, both posters are wrong, so...

thanks! perspective is important! I'm glad we find these offensive...and I'm grateful to my foremothers.

Thank you!

"We don't marry off our kids for dowry at 12 anymore, do we?" Only royals did that. They have found the average ages at marriage for women during the Elizabethan, Stuart, and Hanoverian ages, and they are much higher than you think 1566-1619 27.0 years 1647-1719 29.6 years 1719-1779 26.8 years 1770-1837 25.1 years

I'm offended by these, because they are stupid. I mean yeah it's a nice Idea and its very well executed but fighting fire with fire and wanting to switch sides rather than have equality - what feminism really stands for, not for this - is just really worrying to me.

True but we still have all those TV ads overwhelmingly stereotyping women as housewives: whether it is detergent or dish soap advertising, etc. as if it were women's responsibility alone.

Woooooman, let me tell you about the advertisements telling women to clean their vaginas (you're reading right here, not vulva, vagina!!!) with Lysol!!!! And all ads were pretty much blaming the woman for destroying a relationship because she didn't keep her nether parts tidy clean (from a chance of babies as well, since Lysol was seen as a kind of contraceptive as well) ... Google about it, it's horrific!

I know right? And have you seen the sexism in the posters for the WWI and WWII? Not ONE inciting women to go and die on a battlefield, all poster assumed only men had to sacrifice their life. So glad things have changed. I'm happy, I'd have been happy as a man to stay at home cook and watch the kids if they send a woman in my place to die in a war.
