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

Hispanic women (1975) is not correct. Hispanic women would have been covered by the 1965 act would they not?

@SnerkRabbledauber It is correct. Latino/Hispanic women had to wait until 1975 to get full voting rights. A law that claims to allow voting but does not give actual access to voting, does not in fact allow voting. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/latinos-1965-voting-rights-act-impact-came-decade-later-n404936
For Latinos, 1965 Voting Rights Act Impact Came A Decade Later

Thursday marks the 50th anniversary of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, but for Latinos what is more significant is the extension signed 10 years later.

@QasimRashid

The '75 amendment was important, but not the same as giving Hispanic Women as a group the right to vote. They already had that. If you change it to "language minorities" it would be accurate. But otherwise it would only be accurate if no Hispanic Women spoke English in 1975, which is nonsense.

Why allow people to discard your excellent point like this?

@SnerkRabbledauber People aren't discarding my excellent point. You are, because you're pretending a right that is granted on paper is magically granted in real life too. You're wrong. Be well. Peace.
