What should Catholics think of a certain list?

Oh yeah, congrats on the 2000 post milestone Maxirad.

Some of these things were only true in certain states.

I remember opening a bank account, and taking birth control pills (wish I hadn’t!) in the 60s.

I think the list is extremely deceptive in that it posits general statements that turn out to be only selectively true. The first female graduate from Cornell, an Ivy Leage school, was in 1873. My grandmother most certainly had her own bank account in the 1950’s. The first woman admitted to a state bar in the U.S. was in 1869. A few minutes on Google will disprove much of what this list tries to assert.

You are Catholic aren’t you? What do you think?

I don’t think everyone’s assessment of history is equally valid. And as stated by others here, this presentation is selective of those things that it’s author wants to present.

Before the content of any piece is considered, a mindset of critical thought must be in place first. Speaking of what’s on the internet, if there is no information given about the author, or if the author’s credentials are lacking in real world experience, then disregard the content. I would gather that the author of this list is young, inexperienced and driven by talking points from a certain angle, or simply looking for an audience. She’s definitely not objective though.
 
I think the list is deceptive because it makes it seem like all women couldn’t do those things at all until a federal law was passed, making it legal. For example, it wasn’t illegal for women to have bank accounts and most women could get bank accounts. There were a tiny number of banks that did not let women get bank accounts without a male cosigner, so the law was passed to outlaw this practice. The law didn’t make it legal for women to have bank accounts. It made it illegal to deny women bank accounts.
 
I think there may be a slight difference in the Catholic view of birth control pills and running in the Boston marathon.
 
So, what’s you point actually?
Many of your threads are overly concerned with popular media.
Celebrities.
Publications.
FaceBook.

What has any of that got to do with the reality of life as a Catholic person?

If everything on FB were true, credible, or interesting even, it would be a much different place.
 
It’s good how far we’ve come, and it’s interesting how many of these things changed in the 70s.

On birth control, I don’t think anybody should be using that whether male or female. But the other ten things are things women should be allowed to do.

I agree about “certain states” being the qualifier.

I have to say I have a strong speculation that Catholics are not to blame for the obviously ligimately unjust things on this list. (throwing their abc nonsense into it is just the left wing media.) Almost undoubtedly work of misogynistic Calvinists.
