Five Year Plan was running a little behind in diaphragm production, eh?

“Black Sea, where Sanger boasted that she bathed au naturel.”

Gross.

Wait, did the Black Sea get it’s name before or after this event ?

[a fool in paradise]

>>then on to the Black Sea, where Sanger boasted that she bathed au naturel.

Ugh! Mindbleach!!!

[Lurker]

Never mind the 6 million or so corpses rotting in the ditches, Margeret.

“Sanger also disapproved of the Soviet dependence on abortions. “

So I am supposed to believe the hundreds of papers published that state otherwise, or this single article from the Margaret Sanger archives ?

hmm

I've never understood how liberals and democrats get away with their racism...

"Russia today is the country of the liberated woman," remarked Margaret Sanger upon her return from a 1934 tour of the Soviet Union. "The attitude of Soviet Russia toward its women...would delight the heart of the staunchest feminist," she wrote in 1935 for the Birth Control Review.

The Soviets didn't put women in gulags?

I wonder is she saw the piles of corpses from the Holodomor, or the millions of prisoners in the Gulags?

Interesting that in the 1930s birth control was illegal. Also, why wouldn’t the husband also wish to use birth control sometimes? After all, he had to provide for each child. Didn’t the husband want to have some sex without fear of procreating? Why was it a woman’s goal to get birth control?

I watched an I Love Lucy recently and it appears even in the 1950s, men spanked their wives as punishment, and when they said Get to the Kitchen, the woman hopped to it because her husband was The Boss.

The only thing I can think of for why men didn’t want their wives on BC would be so that she wouldn’t cheat with another man?

Based on raw body count figures, Sanger is responsible for more murders than Stalin or Mao.

Ping. Russia still has yet to grapple with weight of their recent past and the influence it continues to wield.
