Echoes

I realize this blog is late, but I am going to post it anyway.

History is something we tend to look at as just the past. It is something that happened and something we need to learn from, although I doubt any learning from history actually takes places in our society, but I digress. So, there are three echoes, and by echoes, the author is saying that there are three things that stemmed from those times and the revolutions that are still prominent in our society and culture today, and will probably be prominent for a really long time. The three echoes are feminism, nationalism, and abolition. Nationalism happens to be my favorite, since I myself am a fellow patriotic citizen! (My car plate cover is that of an american flag, and yes, I cried at the end of white house down when the little girl was waving the american flag). But anyway, I want to focus a little bit on feminism. Feminism then, was literally about getting equality, and getting the rights known to man since man made those laws. So, yeah, good for this women who stood up and stood against men in order to get their rights. But since he does talk about them as echoes, I would like to bring it to the modern times. Feminism now sucks. I am not a feminist, and I will never be a feminist. Feminist now, compared to then, is about being able to do whatever we want, and actually being proud of being sluts and shaming those females who actually are CHOOSING to be stay at home moms, and cater to their husbands.  Which contradicts their whole campaign, which is letting women choose to do what they want, oh, but wait, as long as its within their definition of what a female should do, which is work, and be a slut. Oh man, if feminists back then could see what our feminists are, I wonder if they would stand with them, or against them.
