Stupid Examples of Misogyny

I was about 10 years old back in the early seventies when my mom was upset that she couldn’t have a credit card in her name. Never mind that she was a registered nurse and had her own money, my dad had to add mom as a dependent on his credit card who was authorized to use it. That was a big eye-opener for my mom who previously didn’t express an opinion about other examples of misogyny.

There’s a whole, very long thread about this kind of nonsense that, sadly, is well within living memory: “In the dustbin of our cultural history”.
