on a serious note, women are more opressed than blacks and have been oppressed for longer. so blacks should get in line because we were being abused, neglected, pused out, and denied our rights way before we those white pigs started owning them. i'm not sure how seriously i mean that, but it certainly is something to think on that a black person was valued as 3/5ths a person while us women were still at 0 value.
haha what does FTW mean? i dont have the internet lingo mastered apparently :P
you're right - women have been oppressed for a very long time. women were also never enslaved either, so people of African descent have you guys beat there. women also earned the right to vote in this country sooner than black people did. so while women have no doubt been oppressed, American Indians and African Americans have both been oppressed more than any other group in American history.
well it depends what you mean by ensalvement. i mean we were bought, sold, and used as leveage by the men we were born to and were to be married/owned by when we grew up [or sickenly enough not grown up as in the example of young child brides forced into marriage with typically older men]. so my argument here is that in america and throughout civilization [sans the hunter/gatherer tribes that were matriarchial in nature], we've been getting the oppressed. we even got it for longer than the jews, they just couldn't drive us out of everywhere or kill us all because of the sexual desires of men and that little thing called birth.
