The article says, “Prof Bulbeck said in the late 60s and 70s, when it was illegal to work if you were married and women had to be paid less than men, gender oppression was much more visual.”

It was *illegal* to work in the 1960’s and 1970’s?

Well somebody didn’t tell that to my grandmother... or my mother... or my aunts. WTF?!

Has *anybody* ever heard of this?

And women *had* to be paid less than men? Like by law??

SO I thought, “Well, this is an australian publication,” and did some research.

From what I’ve found, it was expected for married women to stay home, but not illegal for them to work. The history I’m finding goes back to the 1800’s, so I don’t know what country she’s talking about.

I don’t think it was illegal for a woman to work in the 60’s and 70’s

Do their students believe these lies?
