Yes. Unfortunately, you wouldn't last 15 minutes in academia writing like that. [huh]
Is it possible that since feminism became a mass movement (and brought us a lot of good), there's been an uncritical acceptance of some of the more dramatic, black-and-white portrayals of how life was before? Statements feminist authors once meant as persuasive rhetoric, now considered straight history?
Everyone, academic historian or barber shop philosopher, exaggerates to make a point. It's all in the game. We do it even when we try not to. It's hard to convince anyone of anything otherwise.
