It’s a real Abigail Adams quote.

. . . with a real John Adams rebuttal:

Depend upon it, We know better than to repeal our Masculine systems. Altho they are in full Force, you know they are little more than Theory. We dare not exert our Power in its full Latitude. We are obliged to go fair, and softly, and in Practice you know We are the subjects. We have only the Name of Masters, and rather than give up this, which would compleatly subject Us to the Despotism of the Peticoat, I hope General Washington, and all our brave Heroes would fight.

Thank you.

I find I am trusting the internet less and less with each passing day. It’s entirely too easy to 404/memory hole any inconvenient fact, and almost as easy to insert a convenient “truth”.

It’s enough to make even George Orwell squirm.

Wow! Thank you for John Adams reply!
