A quote for all fundie women...

[Kitten]

By the new code of laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make I desire you remember the ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice, or representation.

Abigail Adams, letter to John Adams, March 31, 1776

So much for the beloved myth that all women in the past were meekly submissive!

You go, grrl...lol!!!

Huh, so I guess the Robotkins skipped that one in Vision Forum recordings of Abigail's letters? :think:

[tehgoobster]

Oh, snap! Ten dollars says that the Botkinettes didn't include that letter in their collection. :lol:

[thoughtful]

OK, now I have to go watch 1776 again (Sit down, John, sit down, John . . . ).

[Marian the Librarian]

The whirring sound you hear is Abigail Adams spinning in her grave, as she learns how the Botkin family have put their particular and unique spin on her story.

("For God's sake, John - sit down!" - Love that song!)

I wouldn't really hold it against the Robotkinettes. They probably got the book of Abigail's letters after Daddy-dearest 'screened' it for them - prison-style, with a wide Sharpie marker.
