I wish I could go to fun decades but they weren't so fun for people of my skin tone so I'll still with 90s and current decade.

Lmao

Okay it's actually not funny but it's funny cause people love to talk fanciful about times like the 1960s and before that and fail to recognise that they're basically saying that "things were better when PoC, the disabled, queer people, and women had less rights, man those were the days"

Times like that I wish this book was real:

14232949

speak for yourself black man & woman. I'd have prospered in such a day and age.

Sansa Stark

I'm not a woman.

djchameleon

oh god yes yes yes.

I always bring that up when some females go on and on about the fashion from the 50s/60s and want to experience that period of time for it and how men always wore suits blah blah blah.

The first thing I say to them is "oh so you want to trade in your women's rights for fashion huh? you better not speak out of turn either or you are getting slapped"

The Batlord

That wasn't his point. Not too long ago ago, agender or not, you would have been treated like a woman (i.e. inferior and subservient.)

Oh really, so not much different than women are treated now?

The Batlord

Well...yeah. I mean, you aren't ostracized for going to college, or having a baby out of wedlock, or not being a housewife in the same way that you would have been before the sixties.

Ummmm, this still happens. Maybe not so much in the industrialized world that you and I know (though it still occurs unfortunately), but in the developed world, that's the norm. Girls are even denied basic primary education in some Third World countries because they believe it's more important for them to become a domestic goddess or something.

Have you ever heard of the "Glass Ceiling" ideology? In corporate America, it's a whole lot harder for women to move up the hierarchy than it is for men, simply because women aren't seen as capable of running large, multinational corporations, usually because people we're too emotional, have to raise a family, have to maintain order in their domestic life - the idea that a MAN can and should be able to run a household and raise kids is absolutely appalling, isn't it? Then there's also the salary gap...

The gender gap is still in existence.
