Dr. Olga A. Lentz working in her practice, St. Paul, MN. 1910. Though originally from New York, the New York School of Dentistry did not admit women to their programs. Olga went down to Philadelphia to get her degree in dental medicine, and then went back to the west side of NYC to practice for several years. She eventually set up practice in St. Paul, MN.
Though highly successful, Dr. Lentz did not escape the sexism and discrimination of the day. For the most part, she would only treat people referred to her by others, and very rarely took strangers, especially men. When a newspaper report was done on her back in New York, it seemed to take female doctors and dentists as almost a novelty- it noted how they were just as competent as men, but at the same time, the headline was “Girl Dentist ‘Pretty and Popular’”. The tone of the entire article was in the same vein as this quote:
A dentist is no longer a king of terrors. She is a queen of beauty, says the New York Morning Journal. How pleasant to see a sweet, delicate, girlish face bent over yours as you lean back in the fatal chair of torture! How delightful to gaze up into tender blue or black eyes, and feel that soft tendrils of hair are sweeping your brow like a summer zephyr!
It is any wonder that young lady dentists are successful, and that their number is constantly on the increase? New York supports several, and it was to one of the number that I went not long ago for advice on the subject of a tooth.
So, it wasn’t exactly like they were completely respected or seen as the same as male doctors. But they were there, and they were successful, and Dr. Lentz in particular was a boon for the women’s suffrage movement in Minnesota, proving that women can be just as competent and make decisions just as well as any man.

Let’s remember, Jesus was a Jewish man of color, born homeless to an unwed teenager, who spent his formative years as an illegal immigrant before returning to his home country to hang out with twelve men, prostitutes, and socially untouchable tax collectors while he taught a radical social doctrine of equality, love, and forgiveness that included paying taxes, free healthcare, and the sharing of resources within a community.

Anonymous asked: Yeah. I would love to reveal myself but you people would tear me to shreds but yeah. I've experienced the families of classmates who are less privileged then I am. Like I'm talking families making $10,000 to $22,000 at most. They're happier than me, I see a wholeness in them I don't have being exposed to decent wealth all my life. They cherish life and I see their personal struggle but they still rise valiantly. I admire that. It's not looking down, I honestly admire that.
What it boils down to is that you feel unfulfilled or empty because of your privilege, you can give up that privilege. Money can be given away, dude. You won’t do that, though, because what you said is just backtracking or lip service. You don’t really envy people of lower class. You are attempting to flatter them in order to diminish their consciousness of class discrepancies in our society. That’s why shitrichcollegekidssay gets so much hate from the upper class; it draws the attentions of regular folks to the condescending, ivory tower mentality of the entitled leisure class.
