    Exactly.

    A bit like saying North Koreans have nuclear weapons while black ppl in USA are discriminated against.

    While it is a fact, it’s also clear that the situation in USA is a bit better than 200 years ago whilst the average DPRKean does in fact not have access to a nuclear weapon.

    I don’t think ppl on Lemmy would think no woman in USA had a bank account prior to the (19)70s. Just as they wouldn’t think USSR shipped millions of female tourists to space.

      You have more faith than I do. Right now, someone is explaining to me in another thread how donald trump is actually part of a deep conspiracy with the Dems to keep elections electronic so they can both rig them…

      People are really dumb.

      And the link I posted does not at any point say that all women had access to all banking forever, simply that there is a lot of context that’s missed by claims like this, that come up reasonably frequently.
