Oh, jeez, yeah. Okay, having faith in people was their SECOND biggest mistake.

What about not letting women vote or count as people?

My initial reaction was “of course I don’t think sexism is okay. Give me a break”… but then I remembered that this is the internet, where lots of people do think sexism is okay. Plus, you have no idea who I am or what my personality is like. You asked a completely fair and reasonable question.

Social justice and progressive values are important to me. Sexism/bigotry are on the long list of things that the founding fathers got wrong.

Ah sorry, I meant it more as a joke to show that the founding fathers were flawed more than we can count, and holding them up on a pedestal that many people do is wrong. I was expecting a response like "Ah shit, okay maybe THIRD biggest mistake."
