Women couldn’t open a bank account or hold property, as well as not vote, work, direct their affairs. If their “protector male” died or went to war, they were in a terrible fix, and their children suffered as well. I don’t disagree with the insidious motives of the state, but don’t confuse women’s second-class citizenship with a glorious state of being for them or families. nostr:note1wjxkyzftxv3tsfe6hs4nktnrnnez29vhlptqenm32vwm8d5q832sgcglxt
