Ah the good old days, when your retirement plan was "Wait for that son of a bitch to die and move in with your lifelong best friend who hates kids and never married."
The same crowd that believed Roe v Wade would never get reversed will probably not believe all of the sad but true things you've said. In the early '70s, I needed my then husband's approval to get a credit card. Later, as a single mom applying for a mortgage, the bank held a big meeting about it.
It was in the mid-80s that my mother received her first credit card in her own name. The bank initially gave her a $500 limit because she had no credit history. She would have been in her late 40s at that time, and was earning more than my father.
I had always ask my Mother why she didn't leave my dad and she said "you wouldn't understand" this was in the 1970s." I understand now Mom" Though she has been gone for 5yrs,I hope she knows💔
This criminal regime wants to go back to the 1850's when White men controlled everything and no one else had any rights. The era of slavery and The Rule of Thumb that specified how big a stick a man could beat his wife with.
And then the entire country punished single parents and still does. The biggest driver of poverty for women is children and the Dads that just walk away, or as in my case, refuse to help. No court order could get him to give me a penny for his two kids.
Another way we “enslave” women:
Your Social Security benefits are based on your employment. If you are a stay-at-home mom, you don’t get a paycheck & don’t pay in to the SS fund. So you don’t get benefits. I worked for about 15 years and get less than $1000/mo.
Part 2: My husband retired at 65 and his benefit is nearly 6 times as much. If he dies before me, I’ll get maybe 75% of that to maintain the household. Prices keep going up. How does a 25% pay cut make sense?
Those women hated those men.
My gma slept on the couch cause she hated him but would not get a divorce , cause divorce was bad, but living a lie was fine.
The good ole days, for who?
This is why the Right is so implacable. They want those days BACK. Dobbs was just the beginning. The Handmaid’s Tale isn’t a fable. It’s a forecast. But who needs a weatherperson THESE days?
Yes, women not being able to get their own bank accounts lasted until into the 70's. One divorced woman I know needed to get her grandfather as a cosigner and the other got her whole life savings stolen from the man she was divorcing while she was raising her kid alone.
Many of these magas are women, the rediculous vote against your own self interest Fucknuts that hurt all women and contributes to the inequality of all in society.
My grandmother had 12 children and no driver's license. When she finally found out her husband had been cheating on her, she died. That was her only escape. At 57 years old.
My mother left an abusive relationship in 1948 - but had to live with her brother since she couldn’t do anything on her own. Not because she wasn’t capable, because the systems wouldn’t let her.
My mother divorced my abusive father in 1966 - it took him nearly beating her to death (I witnessed it) before she would do it. And he never, ever paid even a minimum rate for Child Support, and my mom would not take him back to court for more because she feared for her life.
In 1981 I was unable to change my car registration from Florida to Alabama even though my name was the only one on the Florida title. I had to have my husband present who was not on the title.
