I’m not sure if you can even call many of their views “outdated” It’s more like they’ve been received from the Elder Gods sleeping and dreaming in their lairs under the Earth and seas. I mean, I’m 45 and never in my life until maybe 3 years ago did I hear anyone make these bizarre claims about the female body being able to “shut down” in the event of rape. Was this a widespread view in the male-dominated society of the past? I realize they did have a lot of strange beliefs about women in the past, but that was a new one to me.

Sadly, I think this should kill the assumption that each generation is more open minded than the last. That, and the religious right has consolidated it’s hold on the South.
