Yep!
Yes, I can visualize Moses looking and talking exactly like Bernie Sanders.

I should have gone all the way back to pre historic times and followed development from that point. Imagine Noah as a teen & what he would look like at 700 years old. Given my penchant for doing the right thing I might have warned Lot's wife or the resident's of Babel.

I'm afraid my decision to NOT travel to the past would be based on how women (and of course other groups) were treated back then. I would much rather travel to the future, explore the galaxies and be treated as an equal.

Just find a currant (current) bush.
He did, actually, him and I used to share a pot of tea and pilchard sandwiches.

I'd like to go back and tell my teenage self that I was good enough, smart enough, brave enough, and pretty enough, no matter what anyone said.

Would like to go back to the old Dodge City days and be Marshall Dillon's Deputy. My wife could be Kitty Russell. My wife can handle her Smith & Wesson 9mm quite well, so she'd have no problem handling a 6-shooter and/or Winchester rifle.
I agree not just to learn from them, but to know weāre they born with such wisdom, taught or spiritually led, if so by what.
Ask will we ever truly know peace, be able to trust, be safe from evildoers. So much more

I'd go back to Berlin in the 1930's, in the time of Christopher Isherwood, just before the Nazis came to power. I'd go to places like the burlesque theatre "The Kit Kat Club" and enjoy good food and wine.
There was a modern KitKat club which was a fetish club, but there is another club that aims to create the experience of the club as portrayed in the show "Cabaret". There are even shops where you can hire authentic '30s clothing (which is mandatory). I'd like to have visited , but you needed to get measured up and reserve your clothes 3 weeks in advance.

I love Westerns and would love to be able to see how people really looked and talked around, say, 1875 in Arizona. Only for a quick visit, though, as I'm partial to modern plumbing.

I would love to go back to my youth and do the same things again. Of course I wouldn't change anything with the exception of getting married to my husband a few months earlier then I married him because then he wouldn't have gotten drafted during the Viet Nam war. My cousin got married a few months before me and her husband didn't get drafted because he was married. I didn't know that at the time.

Someone mentioned this subject on the forum awhile back, possibly could have been you, but I still don't understand... did the policy change somewhere along the line? My youngest brother was married when he got drafted.
Hmmmm.......you're making me wistful now, Gaer, I used to love wearing me hat with horns sticking out the top.
Same here, I would like to witness a gun fight and see how they keep firing their six shooters without reloading!!

"be treated as an equal"??? Today there are ladies in each branch of the Service. When I was in the Navy (Vietnam era), there weren't any onboard ships. Now there are officers and enlisted. Also, now there are lady police officers, car mechanics, firefighters, Pro-Basketball (WNBA). Equality? I'd say there is!

I think if you were to ask a large group of women of all ages whether they consider their treatment equal to that of men a majority would say they don't and would be able to point to recent experiences in their life where they were not treated equally.
The things you listed are steps towards equality but not measures of equality.

I can think of one lady on this forum who served in the military back in those days.
And going further back, there were also "ladies" on the Army Hospital Ship where my father was during WW II. Perhaps they weren't allowed in all the roles that they can fill these days, but they definitely should be counted.

Supposedly John Wayne fired 18 times without reloading in The Sons of Katie Elder.
My favorite: I recently re-watched Silverado. There is a jailbreak scene at dawn and Costner, Glenn and Kline gallop out of town. 30 seconds later, a 10 person posse rides after them. Presumably all ten were dressed, saddled up and waiting at dawn for just such an event.
