"Blah blah", Thanks for admitting these works are sexist.
"Goose", I don't know how you missed it but I already answered your question when I said, "While the term gander applies to the male of any species of goose, “goose� can apply to both males and females."
"4 got my blinders", claims, "You can't be a person living in the 40's -- seeing a reflection of what this art meant at that time. You can't see past right here and now. You're stuck."
Actually I can see what it meant for people living in the 40s. It meant horrible oppression for women. That meaning does not change with time.
Sexism does not age into a smooth brandy. It does not become funny. Fortunately time, or more accurately a vocal and militant women’s rights movement buoyed by the anti-war movement in the 60s and 70s has changed some things for women. Silence in the face of sexism would have left us in the same sexist mindsets of the McCarthy era 50s when husbands were encouraged to check their unruly wives into mental hospitals for electro-shock “therapy�.
