Stupid Is as Stupid Does,,,,,,

This is Just Plain Stupid Thinking!!!!
this professor seems to have forgotten that there are still people around that was Born and Raised in a Communist Country.
this woman is just Plan Stupid our a Paid Shrill for the Communist Movement  in America.
What she says is:
Quote:Socialism had this surprising benefit for women — according to studies by socialist governments
I read the original article yesterday and she was basing her finding on one Divorced woman in the Soviet Union or East Germany, I get. But that woman liked her job in the factory and like having her life controlled from birth to cradle and she said she had more Organism's because of it.

Quote:When the workers control the means of production, does it really help women enjoy sex more? That’s what a New York Times opinion piece claimed this Sunday, arguing that socialism increased pleasure for Eastern Block women. The writer, Kristen R. Ghodsee, is a University of Pennsylvania professor of Russian and East European studies.

The piece mostly cites anecdotal evidence and studies conducted by communist nations from before the wall came down.
The conclusion?
Not having to worry about money and work led to a “life … full of romance,” as reported by Bulgarian Ana Durcheva.

hodsee describes a sort of freedom to flirt and and enjoy the company of men because there is freedom from personal responsibility and the existential angst of making a life for oneself.

What she is not telling you.
Now any guest that might be reading this, please take notes.
In the Socialist-Communistic world, you have few if any choices.
You education is determined by you intelligence and what fields you test best in to include music.
Your Government Issued Apartment is determined by you education and job placement.
You salary is determined bu you job and years at that job and your attitude.
Your hours are as short as 8 and as long as 12 per day at least 6 days a week with one or two week a year and 3 to 4 weeks a year after you've proven yourself and the vacation is to a Government approved location.

Yes, yes, yes, the Ideal Progressive-Elite World.

So, now they are so desperate they are using sex to sell socialism to the masses? 
Maybe we should be worried; sex seems to sell just about anything.   tinysurprised

Ah!

Then that would explain those droves of eastern-bloc gals who were climbing over one another to get to the west just after the wall came down, right? The must've been absolutely worn out with all that romance going on, and were no doubt seeking escape! Of course, that's not what they were saying... back then they were claiming that conditions were so bad that all the men were laying around drunk and unable to get it up, and they were running TOWARDS the potential for romance, but that of course was just a clever cover story! I see it all so clearly now! You could get a Russian mail order bride for between 3 and 5 grand in those days.

Did anyone other than me notice that the "study" was conducted by the Socialist governments themselves? Isn't that like setting the fox to guard the hen house?

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.

Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’

Yes I did notice that and forgot to mention it, I was so upset with the pure asinine story line in the article.
Thank You for pointing that out., Ninurta.

Here is an alt-article (see how I did that) for everyone.
Quote:Life Under Communism Was No Liberation For Women

Nostalgic accounts of life under communism avoid the broader perspective of widespread oppression and economic failure.
The article is long but here is the best part.

Quote:Over the last few months, The New York Times has published a number of warm and nostalgic recollections of communism. Authors have opined about the supposed optimismidealism, and moral authority of communism.
Perhaps the most bizarre article so far claimed that women behind the Iron Curtain enjoyed greater sexual satisfaction and more independence than their Western counterparts (except, of course, when it came to freedom of thought, speech, religion, association, or movement).

I would have chosen to commemorate 100 years since the Bolshevik Revolution and the birth of the Soviet Union in a different way. Over 100,000,000 people have died or were killed while building socialism during the course of the 20th century.
Call me crazy, but that staggering number of victims of communism seems to me more important than the somewhat dubious claim that Bulgarian comrades enjoyed more orgasms than women in the West. But as one Russian babushka said to another, suum cuique pulchrum est.

I am, however, intrigued by the striking similarities between the Times articles. To the greatest extent possible, they seem to avoid the broader perspective on life under communism (i.e., widespread oppression and economic failure). Instead, they focus on the experiences of individual people, some of whom never lived in communist countries in the first place.

In "When Communism Inspired Americans," the author remembers her socialist parents and the life of the communist sympathizers in 1950s America. In "Thanks to Mom, the Marxist Revolutionary," the author remembers his batty mother, who dragged him from one communist hellhole to another in search of a "real world" experience.

In "'Make It So': 'Star Trek' and Its Debt to Revolutionary Socialism," the author quotes Captain Picard, who explains to a cryogenically unfrozen businessman from the 20th century, "People are no longer obsessed with the accumulation of things. We've eliminated hunger, want, the need for possessions. We've grown out of our infancy."


Speaking of hunger and infancy, here are some completely gratuitous eyewitness accounts of parents eating their own children during the man-made famine in Ukraine in the 1930s. Communism may have influenced science fiction writers, but real life in the USSR was no picnic.
