The badgers discuss… anything really, or nothing at all.
Last week, we learned a bit about the the Seneca Falls Convention and began reading through the declaration of sentiments written by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, looking for that “about equality” vibe feminists keep telling us we should be getting from their work.…
We’re told feminism has always been about equality. We’ve looked at the early actions and some of the early writing of feminists which showed otherwise, but what about the direct statements of the suffragettes at the Seneca Falls Convention? Tonight, we’re going to examine the Declaration of Sentiments and see.…

That’s probably why I put it off until it was pretty much going to be labeled an afterthought, but the more discussion I’ve seen and heard on the bear vs man topic, the more I realized this has to be done.…
