It's Women's History Month. Here's the world men have forced on women:
1848: Married women's property act passed
1920: Beating women criminalized
1921: White women get voting rights—Asian women (1952), Native women (1962), Black women (1965), Hispanic women (1975)
1970: No fault divorce legalized
1974: Equal credit opportunity act let women have independent credit
1981: First women on SCOTUS
1993: Marital rape criminalized
2022: Roe v Wade overturned
2023: ERA still not law
Men—we must do better

@QasimRashid Sexual harassment in the workplace was ignored (legally) until the mid 1970s

@baba_lilith @QasimRashid LOL it was ignored long past that. It wasn't even identified as an issue most places until the tailhook scandal in 1991. And frankly I still saw it at times through my entire career (I retired in 2018).

@HLGEM That's why I said "legally". There were no laws against it until the mid 70s. His thread was about legislation, not if things still happened. Constantly, with rare repercussions.
