 But what about the claim that women of the past gave everything and got nothing? Well, that would be true if a roof over your head and food on the table and clothes on your back and everything else you need to survive and thrive and be comfortable, if all of that amounts to nothing, then sure. I mean, if everything is nothing, then it's true that women got nothing. But then again, it's also true that they gave nothing because everything is nothing and nothing is anything.
