Super interesting seeing USA was early on the full-suffrage train. Super fucked up to learn indigenous women couldn’t vote in Canada until the 1960’s.

A neat timeline, admittedly missing a huge asterisk about how a lack of enforcement and restrictive voting policies still indirectly filter who can vote.

    legal recourse for marital rape

    So if you’re richer and whiter than your rapist, you can mobilize thugs to violence him. Assuming he’s not one if the thugs himself. How novel. Much justice. I shall celebrate.

    laws¹ protecting against overt² discrimination on the basis of sex³.

    So, um… checks relative pay numbers thank god. I remember working in IT, and if overt sex discrimination hadn’t been illegal, that would’ve been a nightmare. I’m so glad men with guns were there to protect me. So much better than anything else we could have won with half as much effort.

    no-cause divorce

    How long did it take, how long did we keep it? Big temporary win for hypernormative monogamous straight cis women, I guess. Imagine what we could have got if we hadn’t let them appropriate so many of us into their bullshit anti-denocratic electoral gas lighting system?

    The game has always been rigged, and rather than deciding to fuck off and play something else, you think sucking table scraps out of the field owner’s dick while you’re mobilized to do violemce against everyone but white men is winning. Istf liberalism is trying to tweak the gun someone’s holding to your head until it sucks dirt off your floor, because its the closest machine at hand-while the guy holding it tells you to stop or he’ll shoot.

    You people are so thoroughly nonsense and unconnected to reality I can’t even argue with you, and I can have a productive conversation with someone in a schizophrenic break or meth bender.

    ¹so if you’re richer white and equally or more cis, you can… What?

    ²the most popular kind

    ³but not gender, sexual orientation, … Also not that first one anymore.
