“She was asked what she had learned from the Holocaust, and she said that 10 percent of any population is cruel, no matter what, and that 10 percent is merciful, no matter what, and that the remaining 80 percent could be moved in either direction.”

@RustyBertrand so interesting to see who people think are “on their side” or “fighting for them”.

"Never forget that it only takes one political, economic or religious crisis for women's rights to be put in jeopardy. Those rights are never to be taken for granted; you must remain vigilant throughout your life."

Fundamentalism is the new disease.

The truth, however, is that there is no God…

Only people pretending that there is, to get confirmation for their reign and power gained.

Don’t fall for these echoes from the past. Fight these people and their points of view wherever and whenever you can.

The only Hell is man-made, and it is here on earth, nourished by those that cling to the aura of religion. Shame on them!

In this case, dissenting views=more thoroughly researched and better-supported views. The classic and still go-to study of women's brewing and its decline is Judith Bennett's Ale, Beer, and Brewsters in England: Women's Work in a Changing World, 1300-1600.

And I don't even know where to begin with "the Reformation introduced the idea that witchcraft was bad" pronouncement.

@christinkallama @aralqprf @RustyBertrand @histodons I was more wondering what those views were. This seems to explain them: https://www.intoxicatingspaces.org/2021/03/18/trouble-brewing-ale-beer-and-witchcraft/ (veracity pending)
