Soon: “Nazis didn’t care about minorities🤯”
Oh shoot, the GOP left some data laying around. Don’t worry. They will begin deleting such facts immediately.
Gilead theme music intensifies
Don’t forget the number women who poisoned abusive men, but law enforcement and medical examiners quietly pretended it was natural causes
Let’s bring that back
Fine but only if we can bring back the 90% top tax bracket too
Yes please
“For rats.”
Thank you for this additional piece of background, dear FistingEnthusiast.
I hear men’s ability to balance on ladders improved drastically shortly after as well.
IIRC women could get a credit card into the 70’s. Crazy.
Women could not build individual credit until the 1974 Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA). They needed a male cosigner to have a credit card prior to this.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1970 expanded minorities access to credit cards also.
There’s a reason some of the anti-inclusive members of our society want to go back to a time of less competitiveness. Unfair advantages make for an easier life for the few at the expense of the many.
You dropped this:
n’t
I did, you’re right…let’s edit. Thanks
The Good Old Days they always refer to is the world where Adult White Christian Males get to rule the world, do whatever they want, say whatever they want, everyone is subservient to them and every other race, religion, identity, minority and female is below them.
It’s not as conspiratorial as that.
- Politician: We’ll make it like the good old days
- Voter remembering their childhood: I remember that, life was so simple.
- Politician: …so vote for me.
All the voters are voting for their own individual fantasies. The politician just wants the votes. This is just dirty populist games.
Suicides in women in the 1950s and 1960s were actually lower than what they were in the 1980’s, so this is a bullshit comparison tweet, where the 1970s happened to have the highest rate and the tweeter is putting a causation to the numbers that may not even have direct causation. I could just as easily claim that vehicle fuel economy improving during the 70’s caused a decrease in female suicides.
Female suicides hit its lowest at around 2000 before trending upwards again.
And then VTEC kicked in yo, and female suicides skyrocketed
Lol. Right? What was that, like 1997? VTEC makes women kill themselves.
While I can’t necessarily disagree with your correlation≠causation argument…
I could just as easily claim that vehicle fuel economy improving during the 70’s caused a decrease in female suicides.
Better gas mileage probably contributed a more than zero amount to that decrease.
It really is pathetic when you think about it. Such a desire to have people beneath them…
Don’t they know that this is still true, as long as you’re part of the owner class?
Mild fascism was always “okay” in colonial-settler history. It was only when the Nazis went full fascist and started attacking other Europeans for either not buying into their world view or for having impure Slavic or Mediterranean blood did shit hit the fan.
For many of these regressionists, going back hinges on the ascension of neo Nazism.
I wish they were honest about their selfishness, at least it’s logically consistent. I’ll take that over their cult like thinking.
The kind of people who want to end no fault divorce don’t actually care about female suicide.
Warn them that men’s life expectancy dramatically increased due to no fault divorce. Because a woman trapped in a bad marriage kills her husband.
So I’m an older lady, and when I was young, I was told many interesting things by women who were quite old (at the time.)
My mother’s family is from Siciliy.
Anyway all I’m saying is this sort of thing happened a lot, and if necessary, it will happen again.
Coincidentally, I’m almost 40 and have never married… but I haven’t been single in many, many years. Those stories will stick with ya, and there’s no need for divorce where there’s no marriage.
Till death do us part.
Why are looking at me like that!?
If the husband is MAGA, then why the fuck not?
Because killing people is wrong? Wtf. Did you miss the Nazi gathering?
If it’s MAGA Nazis dying? I don’t think Nazis dying is wrong. Sorry if that offends you.
Of course that is exactly their goal. It’s not like they’re trying to hide it.
It’s one of their goals, yes
“Look how low divorce rates were. Great success!”
Maybe?
Women weren’t allowed to open a bank account in the states until the 70’s
There is a good chance grandma didn’t leave grandpa because she literally couldn’t
Yeah, stop spreading this misinformation. The Credit Act of 1974 made it illegal to discriminate in banking and credit but there was nothing preventing women from having bank accounts before 1974.
1862 California passed a law allowing women to open their own bank accounts without a male signature.
My grandmother and mother both had bank accounts in the 60s in their names, along with home mortgage and business accounts, with no other signatures other than their own.
there was nothing preventing women from having bank accounts before 1974.
Depending on which banks were available in her area, she may still have been unable to open a credit card despite it being legal to do so. Prior to 1974, it was legal for banks to require a man’s signature for a woman to open a credit card, and many banks chose to require this. According to this article from the Smithsonian Magazine, some banks also applied a 50% reduction to womens’ wages when calculating the credit card limit for an applicant.
I agree that the facts are very frequently misrepresented.
And women who had “hysteria” were given lobotomies.
Theres a reason there is still a large cohort of older folks to follow the taboo on therapy: “I’m not crazy, I don’t need therapy”. Because in the good ole days they just locked and chained up or lobotomized anyone with divergence.
Ignores? No, my friend. They’re completely aware and are fine with it.
More than fine. It’s the goal.
For some that is almost explicitly the goal. They advocate against no-fault divorce which will, by is very nature, keep more women in dangerous marriages and increase physical and sexual abuse of women. In the 1950s, women were rarely seen as hirable and that kept them financially dependent on men. Today we don’t just let women work, it’s a necessity for basically everyone. But while we have made sure women (and men) can still independently with programs like SNAP and medicaid, those same people advocating against no-fault divorce also want to weaken or eliminate those programs. The end result of that will mean that basic survival will require, at minimum, two-earner homes. This will further tie women to abusive husbands even if they could justify an at-fault divorce, because they may be choosing between physical/sexual abuse and being able to feed, cloth and house themselves (and their children). This will also naturally increase suicide rates among women. So… those goals are indirectly GOP platform policies.
Maybe?
