But What About The Menz?
Oct. 19th, 2011 04:01 pmDear dumbass in my class,
Perhaps the reason that there is no mention of what men did about the prices of necessities like food during the Depression Era is that the 2 article we read are, respectively, about black women in Detroit forming the Housewives' League of Detroit in an effort to keep black-earned money in the black community and working-class housewives organizing in various urban areas.
Just possibly.
The Great Depression however endangered that home and left them feeling threatened which means that women had to have a way to lash out to fix or attempt to fix situations that were normally beyond their control. Though what interests me is the fact neither mentions men playing a rather large role in their groupings to help fix the situation unless it is possible that I missed something but surely even men would take an interest in the price of food since they require it to live.
I get that sometimes we're scraping for a question to fill out the discussion post, but really, did you have to ask "What about the MEN?"
Yours perpetually in annoyance,
DV
