nope, and it's part of the reason i look upon our history with disdain, as many of the things they said and wrote couldn't have applied to "all men"... not to mention, quoting a guy who was both a slave holder/owner and cheated on his wife to sleep with one... idk... while i understand that some of the things they wrote were powerful, when i think about the context in which they wrote and said things...
seems like i'm in the minority here, but that's normal for me.
