From my experience, except in male dominated industries, women with proper credentials and career focus did quite well for themselves. Same can be said for black people.
Almost without exception, black kids in my schools with parents who were typical middle class were treated with respect and were the most popular kids in school.
It was more about traditional roles than anything else. People just did not see women as soldiers, police officers and firemen and very few women wanted to take a very stressful career path and choose to get married and have kids as a priority.
Truth is, America was not nearly as bad as the race hustlers and the feminists try to portray in their revisionist history.
Yep. I was watching a you tube video wherein a young black woman, seeing that Elvis’ backup singers, in 1975, were multiracial said “Wow could you even do that back then”?
