Amist takes. You've previously identified the racial civil rights movement of the 1890s-1910s as the one that didn't take. Because anti communism and etc. That applies to feminism too doesn't it? Some advances 1840-1870, then pushed back during the gilded age with Comstock and Mann acts and temporary insanity defenses, then up again during the wars and then it's height during the 70s Ms. Era

I’ve said the one of the post-WWI ‘10s-'20s was the fizzled national revolution, there’ve been several waves of feminism if you define your terms right but usually they end up with some girls rolling up the carpet before total scams take the ones left standing

You know Comstock came out of a “white slavery” panic that was literally the same shit as the “human trafficking” thing we’re seeing now?
