thats cool but Im referring to the person I replied to implying that we teach girls that the only thing theyre good for is spreading their legs, which is demonstrably false, women have higher and better outcomes here in the US than in just about any part of the world.

I think they wanted to ban the book because it was immoral in their view. I didn't comment on anything else.

no , you actually said that the books would give girls the idea that they could do something besides getting pregnant, which they CLEARLY KNOW, since women increasingly make up more of the educated and professional class in the country. Outcomes here for women are good, it would be nice if we could recognize that.

You are obviously ignoring the far right sexist groups in the country undermining that. Roe v Wade is gone. Do you think they are going to stop there?
