17. Needs No Context

I was a theater major in college. We analyzed things from many points of view. The statement itself says volumes and I do not need context. The context idea is a straw dog argument. It is specious and irrelevant from my point of view.

Since I do not know the conversation that led up to that statement I assume it was about women's rights or something similar.

The statement as I look at it comes from the bias about women always having anger issues. It is tied to the "time of month" meme. The standard belief by men is that women are just angry creatures.

Even in the history of theater there are patterns in the treatment of female characters. As I remember my theater history I do not recall very many heroic female characters in Western theater. Women seemed to be enigmatic, angry, complicated, shrewish, victims, malleable, weak, mad, controlling etc.

Only in the modern era have women been more sympathetically treated in theater or the arts.

Going back to your question the context does not matter based on your post. It is a subtle put down.

My take on the war on womens' rights today is that it is now combat. It is not nuanced. It is direct and it is dangerous. For women it is a time to go into political combat and TAKE NO PRISONERS. The anti women forces must surrender that includes the churches who are fair game.

I am 68 year old and a veteran. I have watched this anti woman garbage all my life. It is time that it be stopped in NO UNCERTAIN terms.
If I had my way all these hateful mysogynistic bastards would be fleeing in panic and terror for their political lives.

I recommend you find a copy of the Greek play "Lysistrata" written by I believe Aristophanes. It was written during the golden age of Greek theater in the BC era as early as 300 BC. You will see how nothing has changed. Women had trouble with their men over 2300 years ago.

PS I was raised Catholic and I now realize that the Catholic Church and its clergy are some of the most anti women people on the planet save conservative moslems who may be worse .
