@pdd60absorbed12... Helen Reddy cowrote “I Am Woman” with Ray Burton she released it on May 1, 1972, at a time the women mover was in full swing. as you said it was impactful of that movement.
If you look back on America history the women rights movement did start before the 1960's and early 70's My mom was a single working mother of two kids, she always had her eyes and ears tune to the women movement. She had a saying "If you're going to take the man money you owe the man a day work" at the same time she worked and fought hard for equal pay base on one job performances not on gender or color of your shin as an office manager for 5 to 6 doctor group, The 19th Amendment to the Constitution, granting women the right to vote, was approved by Congress on June 4, 1919. State legislatures then considered ratifying the amendment, and a total number of three-fourths of the state legislatures that ratified it was reached on August 19, 1920. After the Amendment was ratified, women used the organizing skills they had practiced during in the suffrage movement to continue to fight for equality. Thanks David.
It's amazing that America had been a country for 144 years before women obtained the Right to Vote. This information is even more striking when you consider the average life expectancy in America in 1860 was 39 years and in 1900 it was 46 years. So 144 years represents a number of generations of women who had no hope of voting.
Diary of a Mad Housewife". I forgot about that movie. I'm going to watch it again. IMO, having birth control made a HUGE difference,. My Grandmother was #13. What could her mom have been able to do otherwise? I thought women got equal rights back then and only recently found out that we DON"T. Blocking abortion was done because Women do NOT have equal rights.
My mother always worked outside the home, and she tried to exemplify equality in all her ways. I am thankful for the women who came before myself, and for the reminder thank you Mr. Hoffman ✨
I'm not quite your age David, but I remember as a kid the idea that a woman would run a company or even have some kind of managment job, something more than a secretary or at most a nurse, was considered ridiculous. Most of the schoolteachers I had were females though, probably because men back then felt that being a schoolteacher was more or less being a glorified babysitter. And I remember when the show "All In The Family" came out, everyone laughed at Archie Bunker, but Archie really did represent the average typical male at that time in history. I don't think many people realize how radically different today's world is compared to just maybe 50 years ago.
South Carolina just voted all women out of thrir state Senate and only 10% of House are women. Indiana after near total ban on abortion with criminalzation of physicians now lacks Obstetrics services in more than 40/92 counties (March of Dimes) and are pushing to eliminate contraceptives (already banned funding for IUD's) as well as further traumatize SA survivors (see SB 177) this session. Bible verses are used more than expert medical testimony at state house see SB's 241 and 245. In general rights must always be fought for and their has always been a cruel backlash sadly. It took 100 yrs of activism for the 19th Amendment...and it just barely passed. Hope the ERA gets ratified and added to the Constitution before I die. Great film that brings all sorts of feelings thanks David. 💙♀️
I remember my grandmothers waiting on my grandfathers, hand and foot. They were housewives who watched their husbands retire whilst they carried on. I also remember growing up in the 1980s when women went out to work and still did everything at home. As a GenXer, I believe the balance has improved, but sometimes at the expense of children’s parental attention. I consider myself very fortunate to be a housewife by choice with very different attitudes towards my rôle than my grandmothers had. I never take for granted those women who fought for my freedom. I only hope my own children can afford to have children. 2 incomes have become less and less of an option (U.K.)
@@christopherleetrejo women could nit have a checking savings account nor obtain a loan without husband's consent, women couldn't even have birth control without husband's consent. We will NOT go back nor forget history!!!!
@@SherryHill-k5yyeah and most women are broke on credit cards such win lol also most of the population never had credit cards cuz it wasn't even a thing back then It was considered a luxury item only 16% of the population had one in their possession it wasn't until the supreme Court struck laws to take the caps on interest on credit cards that everybody was able to get one now the average American owes 1.6 trillion dollars in credit card debt
I dont think it worked out well for the nation as a whole. Sure women HAVE to work now, thats fine and dandy, but one income house hold seemed stronger and better at raising children, instead of throwing them to daycare the moment you can, or is that just me?
That's why I said in my earlier comment is called a double income effect Elizabeth Warren coined that phrase when she was a professor at Harvard could find the video on UA-cam just type it in
Nope, it's not just you. There are some great women who hold traditional values. I certainly can't speak for all of us, but we exist. As much as the women's movement has belittled and silenced us, we exist and we're not limited to church associations.
That has nothing to do with liberating women. That is entirely an affect of capitalism and capitalists more than happy to reduce labor costs and increase profits. Were it not for relentless profit seeking, invigorating women to enter the workforce could have just meant less labor for everyone to do, and more leisure time.
@Stephen_Eee I completely agree. A lot has been gained in terms of freedom for women to dictate their own lives, but a lot has been lost with the dominant trend of dual incomes. I feel grateful that I can afford for my wife to stay home with my young children, and I am even more grateful that she prioritizes the well-being of the family. I can already see the difference in terms of my children's happiness, learning, and demeanor. Happy, healthy, smart, and polite.
In countries that have parental support/leave, healthcare for seniors etc don’t have these problems as much because families are actually supported and cared for there.
Cinderella was abused and overcome her situation by working hard and staying strong to keep her integrity and values no matter how poorly she was treated. No one should be abused.
I couldn't help thinking of my mom and her relationship to this movement. She was a housewife until my youngest sibling entered school, then worked various jobs. My dad knew we needed the income to pay for raising five kids. However, he still expected her to make dinner, grocery shop, and all the rest of the domestic part. Still, in her heart, she identified with women's rights. Thanks, David.🩵
@StephanieJeanne... I know working mothers even to this day are expected to do take care of the kids keep up with the house chores. My mom being a single working mother my sister and me has chores we had to do for our allowance beside keeping our room clean. 😊🧡✌
@@drewpall2598 Yep, when my mom did start working, the girls of the house had to help out. I'm sure my dad encouraged her to recruit us for that purpose. My brother was in charge of trash and yard. 😊💜✌️

Ah, the good old days when the feminists were working for equal opportunities to lead the lives they wanted, instead of equal or outsized outcomes and general man-hating.
@@PS_____ yeah like being held at gunpoint on a 3rd story window sill clutching your toddler by your husband like my Aunt was in 1950's Indianapolis. Thank goodness she was brave enough to duck into an attorney's office on the circle and seek a divorce finally. Because law enforcement did nothing repeatedly. She was considered his property no matter what he did. She was the most amazing woman. And of her 6 sisters 5 experienced abusive husbands like this in KY, IN and OH. Were all men like this? No. But just perhaps too many were without legal or cultural recourse for too many women.
@@melissabruhn1429 Wow. That's terrible. I'm sorry to hear that. It's hard to believe there was a time when police and society had a tendency to turn a blind eye to spousal abuse.

You've missed the point. The issue here isn't men approaching women, but that the refusal to engage often wasn't (and still isn't) respected because the assumption was that her presence in public meant that she wanted male attention, and that's not always the case.
@kinseydesignsbrands I understand that. I wouldn't assume a woman was looking for male attention by being in public. And even if she was, I would certainly not assume she was looking to be flirted with by my ugly self lol But it seems that there is never an appropriate place to simply start an unsolicited conversation for no reason other than being attracted to someone. At least that's the message society has drilled into me.
The ones who decided to to be mothers and wives were looked down on,nasty comments were made about our choices or ignored at social functions. Oh here's one I didn't go to college either so I was looked down on for that too! I finally had enough one day and asked a mother if she new what her daughter was doing ,did she show up to help with Santa shop or help on picture day.

Chivalry was rules made up by men on how to treat (certain)women… without consulting woman at all. Only certain women had the luxury of being treated “like a lady” while all women were in deed treated like property whether someone held the door for you or raised a baton to you.
As a lad of 14 I knew how impactful the Reddy song "I Am Woman" was. She went on to make some really fine music.

If you watch the movie Cinderella backwards, it’s about a woman who learns her place.
Men can’t even wipe their own asses
If you watch Tarzan backwards it's about a man that learns his place.
Cinderella was abused and overcome her situation by working hard and staying strong to keep her integrity and values no matter how poorly she was treated. No one should be abused.
A woman's place is being used and abused by her wicked step sisters?
@megnelli no, she overcame those things because a Prince fell in love with her. After her fairy godmother gave her a fancy dress and a magic coach.
