In reply to the discussion: So Michael Moore speaks at a Sanders rally [View all]Scurrilous
(38,687 posts)"In a 1969 essay for the Freeman called Cancer, Disease and Society, Sanders, then 28, contended that conformity caused cancer by breaking down the human spirit and inflicting emotional trauma."
"What do you think it really means when 3 doctors, after intense study, write that of the 26 patients (who developed breast cancer) below 51 (years of age), one was sexually adjusted. It means, very bluntly, that the manner in which you bring up your daughter with regard to sexual attitudes may very well determine whether or not she will develop breast cancer, among other things."
"How much guilt, nervousness have you imbued in your daughter with regard to sex? If she is 16, 3 years beyond puberty and the time which nature set forth for childbearing, and spent a night out with her boyfriend, what is your reaction? Do you take her to a psychiatrist because she is maladjusted, or a prostitute, or are you happy that she has found someone with whom she can share love? Are you concerned about HER happiness, or about your reputation in the community."
These articles were written more than 40 years ago, Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs said in an email to Mother Jones. Like most people, Bernies views on many issues have changed over time.
