Today is the 50th anniversary of women gaining the right to have mortgages, business loans and credit cards in their own names. I am 47 years old. My mom did not have access to her own credit card without her husband or father's approval. People like to think that this stuff happened in the ancient past. It didn't. People you know were directly affected by anti-women systemic oppression. The fact that: 1. This election is between a black female cop and a 34-time convicted white male felon 2. Almost every police union supports the felon Should tell you everything you need to know about who the police really serve.

@Lana Perhaps worth pointint out, for folks who would still be able to browse content of the bird site without going to it, that:  @Lana @lisamelton they are really absolutely melting down over being called "weird" which I think is utterly fantastic.  For the last time: Abyss = for staring into Please stop screaming into the abyss we are not insured for that

@Lana Reminds me how at a job in around 1985 a conservative co-worker insisted that wealthy people sending their remains (after death of course) into space was true innovative and what space exploration is all about. |

@Lana In a well known Spanish fiction, Velvet, which played in the 50s (therefore, in Fascist Spain) a woman inherits a department store and runs it, which would have been impossible in that time and place.
Is there a word for the act of cleaning up the nastier bits of history for the sake of creating happy melodramatic fiction stories?
@Lana that is usa?
@Lana my sister and her (then) fiancee bought a house. She worked at a bank, was the one with the higher income.She couldn't get the mortgage (from her own employer) on her income alone, because it only counted for 5 years "because woman". 1989, Netherlands
