122. Both replies to my post are valuable. It is true, historically, that after a women's movement, the
generation that follows takes for granted the gains that were hard fought. and they are RIGHT in doing so. Yet, one thing about history in America is that it is forgotten. I am in a generation that came after the women's movement. I take for granted things that were hard fought. Yet, I also, am into women's history so I, (unlike many others_ and this is not a slam it is just a fact) I revel in the history so I can see where the forgetting of feminist struggles did lead to a lot of women voting for George W. Bush. and that has hurt us greatly.
a lot of pro-choice women voted for him thinking, wrongfully, that abortion will never be illegal. and, that is wrong.

Both posts are right. (Unfortunately, the tone of both is contentious) In sisterhood, to both of you!
