Come join my Patreon! https://patreon.com/HemlockPatreon Talk Originally Titled “Deconstructing Racism and Sexism in the Envisagement of Western Civilization” The use of the phrase “all men are created equal” was probably not a deliberate attempt to make a statement about women. It was just that women were beyond consideration as worthy of inclusion. They were politically invisible. Though practical needs gave women a certain authority in the home, on the farm, or in occupations like midwifery, they were simply overlooked in any consideration of political rights, any notions of civic equality.-Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States, 1980https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_People%27s_History_of_the_United_State-//- Original YouTube: https://youtu.be/lk4ncpkstAw Original Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TheAustinSchool --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/william-engels/support
