I'm 59. When I was born, segregation existed, interracial marriage was illegal and women were not allowed to have credit cards in their own names until I was 11 years old. CIVIL RIGHTS ARE A NEW THING.

@wauz There is no choice but for it to continue. We will never accept anything less than full equality and an equitable nation. ✊🏾 @Nike_Leonhard

@StillIRise1963 And that should make it clear just how fragile they are. Civil rights must be actively defended!

@StillIRise1963 my mom still won't get an American Express card (or let the rest of us, either!) because when she got married they told her she had to get Dad to sign off or they'd take her card awayshe told them she was a professional woman with her own income and that they could go to hell and take their card with themthis was in 1972

@StillIRise1963 Women could not have credit cards or checking accounts. When women could finally get a credit card it was issued in the name of "Mrs John Smith"And no one reported domestic abuse.

@LizDylan @StillIRise1963 Domestic abuse was a normal feature in weekly tv shows. One of these days, Alice, pow, right to the moon!And everyone thought it was great.

@TenPenny @LizDylan @StillIRise1963 The Dyke Van Dyke Show? No.Make Room for Daddy? No.The Donna Reed Show? No.Father Knows Best? No.The Flintstones? No.Leave it to Beaver? No.I Love Lucy? No.These 1950s and 1960s primetime shows had none of that and Alice knew Ralph wouldn't dare. There were plenty of issues with these white-bread, shows, but which ones featured domestic abuse as an acceptable practice?

@SharonGibson3 @TenPenny @LizDylan @StillIRise1963 Even if Ralph Cramden never actually hit Alice, the threat was always there.

@LizDylan @servelan @SharonGibson3 @TenPenny @StillIRise1963 While I appreciate Lucille Ball’s enormous comedic talent, I hated that show as a child in the 1970s because it seemed as though every episode was about Lucy wanting to do something that her husband wouldn’t “let“ her.

@StillIRise1963 I’m 65. Domestic violence was considered a family matter. No one was prosecuted for it, women were told by their various churches to do better and endure.Rape was impossible to prosecute. There was no Miranda Law. No fault divorce did not exist. My mother had to get written permission from her father to go to college.Abortion was illegal at every stage. Segregation was the norm. Civil rights did not exist.They want us to go back to that time.

@CatDragon @StillIRise1963 I'm about to turn 62--ditto on everything you ladies have written. I was born & raised in TX, & when I was a kid, under Article 1220 of the TX Penal Code (the "paramour law"), a man could shoot & kill his wife's lover if he caught them together. Because the lover was violating the man's PROPERTY (aka his wife). I was 12 yrs old when the statute was finally repealed.

@BootsChantilly @CatDragon @StillIRise1963 NY was the first state to eliminate the called "marital exemption" in rape laws. That happened in 1984! People v. Liberta is the name of the case. https://www.law.cornell.edu/women-and-justice/resource/people_v_liberta

@fulanigirl @BootsChantilly @CatDragon @StillIRise1963 And those exemptions weren't outlawed nationwide until 1993! I'm somewhat younger than a lot of people posting on this thread, but I was an actual live adult by then.Even now there are *still* locations in the US where spousal and non-spousal rape are treated differently (with the spousal variant having higher burdens of evidence and/or less serious criminal penalties). Right. Now. In. The. US.

@dpnash @BootsChantilly @CatDragon @StillIRise1963 I believe there are at least three states that still treat spousal rape as a less serious category.

@StillIRise1963 I'm 74, UK, when I was young abortion was illegal being LGBTQI was illegal. Racism wasn't illegal. Divorce wasn't possible. Women couldn't get a mortgage or bank account. I was taught my education was important because I might marry an important man like a Bank funking Manager
