    If i had been born 40 years earlier, I would have had the “honour” to die for Hitler’s madness. 30 years earlier than that, for Kaiser Willy Zwo. So thank you, I’ll take my chances with the here and now

    In almost any other generation I would have been practically forced into a loveless marriage, kept as an essential prisoner at home only as a cleaner, a sex toy, and a raiser of my husband’s children.

    Yeah, I was born in the right generation, if only just barely. (The social pressure to procreate was still very high.)

      Yep absolutely. Husband beats you? Be a better wife. Want independence? Ask your husband if you can join a local knitting group. We’ve been property for so long

    Hmmm, its mostly dependant upon generation, but by and large i would have been beaten as a child for being too much to handle, and probably institutionalized later.
